[postgis-devel] Is there a reason we don't have an ST_Intersection aggregate function

[Komяpa]

There's another thing with ST_Intersection/ST_Difference: sometimes you
have to make ST_Difference(geom, (select ST_Union(..,) where ...)) while
second operand evaluates to NULL (you shouldn't crop geometry). Currently
that leads to ST_Difference pushing out NULL. for my use case, that's not
desired semantics - can it be changed?
