Comment(by strk):

 Stumbled upon this one while thinking I needed a BOXND  to find extent of
 an 4D table...
 To be honest we could get away with all these boxes by using a two-points
 LINESTRING.
 It would embed SRID and dimension flags.

 Only it would be slightly larger in size than a simple box,
 and have less semantic associated with it.
 How would you feel about an ST_NDExtent() returning geometry ? Doesn't it
 sound too loose ?
