Currently, the default `__str__` representation of a `GEOSGeometry` object
is its WKT representation (e.g. `"POINT (1 2)"`).
I'd like to suggest moving to the EWKT representation which includes the
SRID information (e.g. `"SRID=4326;POINT (1 2)"`).
For me, coordinates without SRID is like an encoded string without knowing
its encoding, or a datetime object without the timezone.
The change is trivial. There is a small backwards compatibility issue,
essentially for people testing the output of `str(geom)`, and it also
means that the SRID will also appear in `loaddata` output, which is
welcome in my opinion.
Comments welcome.
