Comment(by pramsey):

 Sorry to revisit this, but I just noticed (duh) that geometry_columns as a
 ``coord_dimension`` column which partially removes the need for the
 ``type`` column to include dimensionality signifiers like ZM. So we could
 retain (backwards compatible) ZM-less uppercase types.  Unfortunately
 there is another side to this which says that the ``coord_dimension`` only
 gives number of ordinates, but doesn't distinguish between XYZ and XYM.
