Comment(by mjurce):

 Replying to [comment:3 pramsey]:
 > The only N < 4 that exists for this case is 3. And for 3-point lines the
 only interpretation is that the points are control points on the curve, so
 there's no "desegmentization" to be done. Basically this is just a cast,
 from linestring to circularstring. Or am I mis-interpreting?


 Could be a linestring with 3 points.
 Depends how the points are on the plane.
