ST_Dump ignores empties

[strk]

strk=# select path,st_astext(geom) from st_dump('GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(POINT(0 0),POINT(1 1)),LINESTRING(10 0, 20

0),GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY))'); path | st_astext

---

{1,1} | POINT(0 0) {1,2} | POINT(1 1) {2} | LINESTRING(10 0,20 0)

(3 rows)

It's missing {3.1} ...

... may the semantic debate begin ;)

I think this is pointless. The use case of dump is getting ones hands on useful objects to analyze. Empties add nothing to the soup.

I agree its pointless too +1.
