Yes I think this is the only option at this point, but since most 
'analysis' plugins will be using python, and pyQGIS doesn't have direct 
access to GEOS geometries, we have to have some way to do this based on 
QgsGeometry().

Can anyone think of a more efficient/practical way of accessing the 
geometries stored in a geometry collection?
