Description
Given that it operates on latitude/longitude coords, and most of the other export/output functions take both geometry and geography, I was surprised to see this one didn't.
database=> select ST_GeoHash('POINT(0 0)'); st_geohash ---------------------- 7zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (1 row) database=> select ST_GeoHash('POINT(0 0)'::geography); ERROR: function st_geohash(geography) does not exist LINE 1: select ST_GeoHash('POINT(0 0)'::geography); ^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts.

and of course I think the below will no longer work
SELECT ST_GeoHash('POINT(0 0)');
Though I haven't confirmed. That'll teach'em -- they'll have to do
SELECT ST_GeoHash('POINT(0 0)'::geometry);
If my suspicion is correct, should we catalog this as a breaking change, or add the 'Unknown' hack.
We have same issue with ST_Segmentize BTW.
Anyrate we should probably add the unknown hack to the legacy file if we don't make it part of the core file.
