Hi Paul,

Thank you for your  reply. Indeed it would be nice to label the functions
that are safe to use with Circular Arcs. With the soon to be announced
support for display and editing of circular arcs in QGIS it would to keep
them as such in Postgis and still use them for geoprocessing with SQL.

Regina - would you be available for some contracted work to improve tests
and documentation around support of circular arcs?

Andreas
