request size

  Priority:  medium   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.4.4
 Component:  postgis  |    Version:  2.2.x
Resolution:           |   Keywords:  ST_CurveToLine
----------------------+----------------------------

Comment (by strk):

 The smaller error tolerance, the higher number of segments will be
 required to approximate the line. It may of course be too many.
 How do you suggest to deal with this ?
 Similar issue exists with ST_Segmentize (for example).
