Comment(by strk):

 robe which tools do we consider important ?
 I tested QGIS to be equivalently unhappy about reporting 2 or 4 or null
 while type is reported as "GEOMETRY" (really a QGIS bug, fixed in recent
 development versions).

 When the _type_ is known (ie: "POINT" in geometry_columns) then reporting
 4 for unconstrained ndims makes QGIS 2.6 able to load both 2d and 4d rows
 from that table.
