Hello,
I'm wondering if there is any reason for the geo\_shape type not supporting
multilinestring nor geometrycollection, except that the geojson parser is
not yet able to parse them ?
Else I'll try to submit a pull request to update the geojson parser. I
already tested the multilinestring with my data set and didn't meet any
problem so far.
Thanks.
