Comment (by robe):

 In going thru this exercise, I came across this function -

 http://postgis.net/docs/doxygen/2.3/dc/d52/geography__measurement_8c_a7990577ab258de83502c7fb56ebfc202.html#a7990577ab258de83502c7fb56ebfc202

 geography_point_outside

 Which if I am not mistaken will end up returning a geometry (not a
 geography), because of the bogusness of the gserialized_from_lwgeom
 (since it's passing a geometry), presumably it will get a geometry back.

 Do we use this function anywhere?
