Comment (by mschoema):

 Note that this issue also happens in lwcircstring_from_lwmpoint, but these
 are the only two calls to ptarray_construct_reference_data other than the
 ones in the _from_gserialized functions.

 I also see that these functions (lwcircstring_from_lwpointarray and
 lwcircstring_from_lwmpoint, amongst a few others) are only defined in
 lwcircstring.c (though not static) and not exposed in liblwgeom.h Is there
 a reason for that? I see an equivalent lwline_from_ptarray function for
 lines, but it is marked as deprecated in liblwgeom.h. Why was it
 deprecated, and what should the alternative be to create a line (or a
 circular string) from a set of points?
