One more issue came up.
Shapefiles, which have Z will also have M, at least a placeholder for it.
Having shapefiles as XYZM always in that case may be problematic.
It is possible to use the open options SHPT=type to override the
default. We could have Z => XYZ as default for backwards compatibility
and require open option for Z => XYZM.

I declare this motion passed with +1 from Even, Tamas, Jukka and
Daniel and no -1.
I'll commit soon the changes to the core and then later the drivers:
memory, shape and pg. The goal is to keep the travis test build passing.

I'd like to ask the PSC and others to vote on adopting RFC 61:
Support for measured geometries.
The draft RFC is at
https://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc61_support_for_measured_geometries
and a draft implementation is at
https://github.com/ajolma/GDAL-XYZM
which is tested at
https://travis-ci.org/ajolma/GDAL-XYZM
(the test #34, which passed, was the so far last one after core
changes with unchanged autotests and a rather comprehensive set of
WKT tests in the Perl tests directory)
This is seemingly a small change but it is at the heart of OGR so it
has some important implications. The only backwards incompatibilities
that have appeared so far are with some drivers, for example
shapefile, which can be lessened with, e.g., open options.
Best,
Ari
