 It's sometimes useful to pass an extent that's known to contain all the
 data of a given dataset to some function that takes a bounding box
 parameter, but constructing such bounding box is not always practical. It
 could be min-double, max-double I guess but such a bbox geometry might be
 invalid for a given projection so I thought a function that returns the
 largest bounding box geometry valid for a given SRS could be useful.

 Proj does have such functionality:
