equivalent
Specifically, this method should be used to determine the
most-permissive possible resultant WKB type which can result
from subtracting parts of a geometry. A single-point geometry
type can never become a multi-point geometry type as
a result of a subtraction, but a single-line or single-polygon
geometry CAN become a multipart geometry as a result of subtracting
portions of the geometry.
