Comment:

 OK, with a little more rigour on JSON emitted and a little more
 flexibility on JSON consumed, we can now round-trip EMPTY geometry. They
 are not round-tripping in full fidelity, in particular collections of
 empty are flattened to just a single empty.
 {{{
 MULTIPOINT(EMPTY, EMPTY) => MULTIPOINT EMPTY
 }}}
 But on the general principle that "empty is empty", which our other empty
 handling tries to largely follow, this will do.
