WKT.write(collection) fails

[strk]

It seems to me that WKT.write() fails when passed a Feature whose geometry is a Geometry.Collection. This was tested adding such a testcase in WKT.html.

Won't have time shortly for working on a patch so I tought to file it to avoid forgetting about the issue.

Oh, since I looked at it, the problem lies in lack of a 'geometrycollection' element in the 'extract' property of WKT class. Most likely portion of the code in 'write' should be put in its own function (ie: extractGeometry) to reuse it from the 'geometrycollection' extracter in a recursive manner.

The attached patches implement and test proper WKT.write for GEOMETRYCOLLECTION

patch to the etestcase

test_Format_WKT_read_collection.patch, replacing WKT_test_collection_write.patch, also adds a fix in WKT.read(geom_array) testing, which is missing in trunk, replaced with a duplicate of WKT.write(geom_array) instead.

Sounds like a patch for WKT.write was already provided in #2240. I haven't looked at it

Reviewing this now. I see that the test_Format_WKT_read_collection.patch and WKT_test_collection_write.patch patches are the same. strk, did you mean to attach a different patch for reading? If so, a separate ticket would probably be easiest at this point. Thanks.
