Hi there,
 
I'm trying to use the "nifty" functionality of your geometry.  I've found several uses for it thus far, but there is one thing I want to do, that I can't figure out.  Although I am confident that this can not be done, I thought I would ask anyways:
 
Given a closed "path" is it possible to run the "area(path '(())')" function on it and get a size?  Is there a "bounding box" function in PgSQL that I can use to simulate area (or do I need to bound on my own)?
 
My favorite function that you have is the "in" function.  Life/Time saver right there :).
 
Thanks in advance for your responses.
RDB
