Comment (by mkuhn):

 Basically the requirement is to have some kind of method to take an
 existing linestring / polygon column and upgrade it to a compoundcurve /
 curvepolygon column.

 Casting would IMHO be nice, but a function would also work.

 At the moment I am not aware of any possibility to do this except for
 ST_AsText -> String Manipulation -> ST_GeomFromText. Or am I mistaken
 here?
