#6131: ST_IsSimpleDetail function
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  strk         |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.8.0
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  master
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 We have ST_IsSimple but when the return is "false" we don't have much
 information about WHY the line is not simple, and WHERE it is not simple.

 Similarly to ST_IsValidDetail (
 https://postgis.net/docs/ST_IsValidDetail.html ) an ST_IsSimpleDetail
 would give us such information.

 GEOSisSimpleDetail is available in GEOS starting from 3.14.0 (2025-08-21)
