Comment (by pramsey):

 Erm, yeah, kind of scary. Right now all curves are stroked on the postgis
 side and then handed over to GEOS as linear geometries, and that's true
 for all functions, so the stroking is all nice and centralized (if curved
 then stroke()). However, if we are going to start to have partial support
 for curves on GEOS, that implies either (a) making sure all GEOS use cases
 do stroking on curves or (b) selectively stroking on the postgis side.

 But yeah, probably needs to be done, to make the "move to curve" more
 real.
