[postgis-devel] Adding 4D support to asGeoJson

[Paul Ramsey]

What, and then strip out extra dimensions for ISO GeoJSON? That seems needlessly byzantine. If people are getting 4d geojson from their 4d objects, they can just force3d them before calling asgeojson. I don’t think the standards differ enough to be worth the extra cruft.
