#4565: ST_AddMeasure uses cartesian distances in all SRIDs
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  davidsmith9  |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  defect       |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.5.4
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  2.5.x
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 The ST_AddMeasure function uses Pythagoras to calculate the distance
 between linestring points, even in geodetic SRIDs (e.g. 4326).
 This leads to incorrect distribution of measures.
 The function could use PostGIS's own ST_Distance code or have a geography
 based version
