     334As GEOS does not support curve geometries for now, all GEOS related operations, the ones
    335335returning a boolean value such as Intersects(),
    336336or the ones returning a new geometry such as Intersection(), have been adapted
    337 so that non-linear geometries are first converted to their linear approximation.
