The simple answer NO If that is how you think it should be done, then use it. On my platform, 'point' is a number of floating point numbers depending on your geometry. And shapes use those points. So that area of 'hack' is of little use to any mapping system, and trying to shoehorn existing code to fit is 'pointless' ... It's the fact that many of these problems HAVE been solved without resorting to overloading PHP with a subset that does not provide a complete solution to the alleged problems that is the reall problem here.
