Comment(by robe):

 shouldn't get too attached to autocasting.  That is how all bad wars
 start.

 best to be explicit.


 {{{
 select
 _postgis_geometry_sel('mytable'::regclass,'mycol'::text,'LINESTRING(0 0,
 30 30)'::geometry);
 }}}


  We've already got issue with raster with lazy casting and then adding a
 default arg screws up everything.
