Thanks for the clarifications! This is my first use of PostGIS, so am still learning the software.

Hi all - Sorry if this is a long-resolved design decision, but is there a
good reason that MakePoint accepts double precision inputs while MakePointM
only accepts single-precision floats?

If you look at the function definitions (\df ST_MakePoint*), all of
the geometry constructor functions use double precision types. With
Postgres, 'float' is taken to mean double precision.
The documentation would indeed be better using consistent definitions.
Andy: do you feel like filing a ticket for that ?
