Missing documentation for ST_FindExtent

[Mike Taves]

The following functions are in postgis.sql.in.c, but not documented:

ST_Find_Extent(text schema, text table, text column)

ST_Find_Extent(text table, text column)

[Mike Taves]

Also, the functions in the SQL don't use quote_ident()

[strk]

Might be a good chance to rename, or at least deprecate and provide an ST_FindExtent that would be the only documented one ?

The inconsistency between CamelCase and dash_based isn't nice at all

[pramsey]

Agreed. We also have extensive use of ST_Force_2D in the wild, and ST_Estimated_Extent. Would love to camel them and undocument the under_score_variants.

I'm going to wait off on this. Why document something we may pull out and replace with a different name thus encouraging people to use an obsolete function this didn't know about. Since we can't rename in a micro, this has to go to 2.1

[robe]

strk I don't even know what these are for and didn't we change the name. I'm switching to you. Push if you don't want to deal with documenting.

[strk]

I dont' want to deal with documentation so pushed, and reassigned to the docs manager BTW, the function is just a wrapper around ST_Extent, no idea why would anyone use it, sounds like a companion for ST_FindSRID.
