ST_Subdivide() returns 0 rows on point geometries

Based on ​http://blog.cartodb.com/subdivide-all-things/ I just tried ST_Subdivide. It works great, a nice performance benefit.

Points weren't handled as I expected though:

SELECT ST_Subdivide(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(1 1)',4326),10);
 st_subdivide
--------------
(0 rows)

Of course subdividing points makes no sense, but the function might be easier to use if points were returned unchanged?

Hm, a simple fix to preserve points opens a new can of worms: how to handle multipoints correctly.

with mp as (
  select st_collectionhomogenize(st_collect(pt)) as geom 
  from (
    select st_makepoint(random(), random()) as pt 
    from generate_series(1,100)
    ) as foo
  ) 
select st_subdivide(geom,16) 
from mp;

Should be resolved for POINT and MULTIPOINT at r14834 in 2.2 and r14835 in trunk.
