Comment (by mdavis):

 Replying to [comment:8 komzpa]:

 returns some other center which is not even obvious from the name.

 Perhaps ST_MinimumBoundingRadius should return a 2-point LineString, with
 the centre as the first point.  That way the distance can be computed if
 needed, or the centre point extracted?  And then the return type would be
 a line, which fits better with the term radius.  (This is what JTS does).

 Although I can see that in SQL perhaps having a composite type is
 convenient.
