Comment(by strk):

 So this seems to be an harder problem than it looked.
 That is, if we really want to assume "missing" dimension are "infinite",
 as suggested in
 http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/postgis-devel/2015-February/024759.html
 Then we need to "pad" the Z for a ZM point with an explicit infinite range
 (-inf,+inf).

 It sounds like something that would need to be done in
 gserialized_datum_get_gidx_p which would then construct 4D boxes for 3DM
 geometries (with a padding). That's unless we have ZM semantic in GIDX
 which I think we don't ?
