#3178: EWKB emitter should emit complex empty geometry
---------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  pramsey  |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.8
Component:  postgis  |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:           |
---------------------+---------------------------
 The EWKB emitter (which drives the backup/dump format) does not emit
 complex empty geometries (eg, MULTILINESTRING(EMPTY, EMPTY)) it simplifies
 them down to a single empty instance. As a result, it's not possible to
 dump/restore a database with complex empties without changing their form.
