can't create POLYHEDRALSURFACE about rgeo HOT 3 CLOSED

RGeo doesn't support POLYHEDRALSURFACE. (In other words, it supports the simple features spec 1.1 but not really 1.2 or SQL-MM or anything later.) This is actually mostly because the underlying C library, GEOS, doesn't support it, and I wasn't terribly keen on trying to implement all that stuff in Ruby.

At this point, support for SQL-MM is on the long-term roadmap, but I don't have plans to work on it in the immediate future. This is mostly because I don't use those types myself, and I don't have a good sense for how people might want to use them and what the requirements are. In other words, it's kind of a case of "if you want this capability, help would be appreciated." :-)

Is there a way to bypass the adapter's parsers for a certain column? I've only got the one 3D column so it'd be nice to keep using the adapter for the others until it's supported. I'll look into adding the support, but for now i just really need to store this data and i don't want to go change all the 2D stuff that's using the adapter

Sorry about opening the two issues and closing one. I opened the first one and then thought it should have been posted on the adapter and not in rgeo, so i made the second and closed the first before i saw that you responded.
