 Okay this gives a codish error that will be hard to dicpher for end users
 {{{
 SELECT ST_3DMaxDistance('POLYGON((1 2 ,1 2 ,1 2 ,1 2 ))'::geometry,
 'MULTISURFACE(CURVEPOLYGON(CIRCULARSTRING(-71.0821 42.3036 ,-71.4821
 42.3036 ,-71.7821 42.7036 ,-71.0821 42.7036 ,-71.0821 42.3036),(-71.1821
 42.4036,-71.3821 42.6036,-71.3821 42.4036,-71.1821 42.4036 )))'::geometry)
 }}}
 gives error:
 ERROR:  lw_dist2d_ptarray_ptarrayarc does not currently support DIST_MAX
 mode

 Should give error like this:
 {{{
 SELECT ST_3DMaxDistance('POLYGON((1 2 1,1 2 1,1 2 1,1 2 1))'::geometry,
 'MULTISURFACE(CURVEPOLYGON(CIRCULARSTRING(-71.0821 42.3036 1,-71.4821
 42.3036 1,-71.7821 42.7036 1,-71.0821 42.7036 1,-71.0821 42.3036
 1),(-71.1821 42.4036 1,-71.3821 42.6036 1,-71.3821 42.4036 1,-71.1821
 42.4036 1)))'::geometry)
 }}}
 gives error:


 {{{
 ERROR:  lw_dist3d_distribute_bruteforce: Unsupported geometry type:

 SQL state: XX000
