> Just a point of discussion, this PR to change the default MULTIPOINT
output.
> - Pro: it's correct, the ISO spec mandates extra parens, so MULTIPOINT((1
1), (2
> 2), (3 3))
> - Also: It's not new, this was true of the ISO spec from the start, I just
mis-read
> it
> - Con: It's a change, to a core output format, after a good decade
> 
> Some side notes
> - The input parser already accepts the correct ISO form, so this won't
break
> *our* consumption or ability to round-trip WKT
> 
> I'm inclined to accept, and make sure we have good change / news notes
> about it, as it's potentially breaking.
