This is another feature that I think would be welcome to Firebird. Personally, I needed it once, and ended up storing the lat/lon in two numerics columns, since in that specific project, all the "gis math" was done in GoogleMaps API. But I know people that had to move to PostgreSQL due to the lack of GIS implementation in FB: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-659
I would not say that it is top priority, but I'm sure it is a welcome feature, specially nowadays, where GPS is becoming very popular and is in almost every smartphone.
