Hi, I was making a conversation on IRC and it occurred to me that, apparently, we don't have such great support for sparse coverages, that is, a coverage whose single, general envelope covers a large area, but whose data covers only a small subset of it.
The WCS DescribeCoverage seems to support that in terms of returning multiple bounding boxes for a single coverage, and eventually also multiple polygonal shapes. We don't have anything similar in gt2 land, or am I mistaken? What a spare coverage api would look like? Could it be a subclass of GridCoverage2D that returns the extra spatial info? (it could be interesting for mosaics, for example).
