A global hint is best; I have not had much luck with global hints assigned to the GeoTools class; and prefer the system variable use. When you create a Hint you have a chance to assign its default value as coming from a system variable or something. > From the pov of patching that behavior somthing behaving like a global > variable would be best And I think we both agree it should be "true" by default.
