Hi Aron,

It's been my understanding that there isn't a lot you can do with GEOS
on heterogeneous geometry collections, and that's why I never got
around to fully implementing the class. I'm not opposed to adding the
patch, but I'd rather the constructor raise an exception than pass
over invalid input objects. If you can do that, I've no problem
putting this in 1.2.

Cheers,
