Review Comment:
   yea I think its possible to do (it's just the wkb value after all), you are 
right , not sure if any good use case.  Yea we have to get the wkb in any case, 
i am not sure if its that expensive, but can check.  But I guess the 
cardinality is the same consideration as any other type (uuid for example), and 
we let the user choose ?
