[postgis-devel] Aggregate STYPE

[Paul Ramsey]

Actually, I think it's even more awful, all the transfns that have
func(pgis_abs) signatures will still be around, since the upgrade will
have not replaced them, but rather supplemented them with
func(internal) variants. So all the old transfns will need to be
explicitly dropped. Do we have any example of how the chicken/egg
problem of dropping a type is supposed to work?
