Right right. I looked at it briefly and I'm a little twisted.
The following conversions do not concern me, on the contrary,
we really missed them
* multi geom with just one geom to single geom
* single geom to multi geom
The ones that perform a geometry type change are a different story
thought. Shall a polygon be convertible to a point (its centroid)?
Hard question, the conversion might be exactly what you need, or
might be hiding a structural problem in the data being read.

Since we have no way to differentiate, I guess I prefer to have
the conversion instead of having nothing. May I ask you add log
statemets (working only at fine level) for the conversions that
are not "safe"? If we end up debbuging a problem that might be
hidden by the converters, that would help.

Cheers
Andrea
