[postgis-devel] Geography Coercion

[Sandro Santilli]

Sounds good to me but turn the DEBUG into a WARNING or at least NOTICE
so the confusion would be less "mortal" for the occasional person that
doesn't want normalization.

Also, I noticed that ptarray_force_geodetic is making a copy of each
coordinate rather than using the known alignment.
