Description
This is a useful function for which there is demand, and the cat was let out of the bag a long time ago anyway.
Why not make a public equivalent that produces actual EPSG codes and documents its behavior?

WRT the "actual EPSG" codes issue, the reason is that the EPSG table is not a fixed entity, so we cannot count on the projections we want (UTMs, etc) being at the code-points we expect. We cannot even count on there being spatial_ref_sys records at all. Hence the fake codes.
