[postgis-devel] postgis_letters in project tree?

[Paul Ramsey]

Here's the two functions. I think putting these into the default postgis extension makes sense, they are small and then we have letter magic available for doco etc wherever we want.

ST_GeomFromLetter can be expanded over time to include additional letters for other language charsets. That matches the capabilities of the system to the needs.
