 It would be helpful (likely to a number of applications and users) if
 PostGIS had a function to go from DMS to geometry.

 For example being able to perform these two variations would be a great
 start,

 geometry pt ST_FromLatLonText(text, text);
 example:
 SELECT ST_FromLatLonText('31°55'12.000"N','98°58'48.000"W');

 and

 geometry pt ST_FromLatLonText(text);
 example:
 SELECT ST_FromLatLonText('31°55'12.000"N 98°58'48.000"W');
