[postgis-devel] WKT form(s) of MULTIPOINT

[Paul Ramsey]

Yes, hard call on changing, it would certainly break a number of folks, and the number of complaints about our screw-up is thus far minimal, probably because it got propagated to so many places. Unfortunate though.

Yes, and I don't remind anybody really complaining about that. If needed, we  
could add exportToSQLMMWKT() methods. That would also be helpful to export Z  
geometries correctly: OGR currently imports both POINT (0 1 2) and POINT Z (0  
1 2), but exports POINT (0 1 2).
