12929	linestring with zero points or a single point is not equal to itself	Michael Maier <m-maier@…>	Barend Gehrels	"I expect a linestring with zero points or a single point is equal to itself. However, this is not the case for {{{boost::geometry::equals}}} even though the documentation says

  Checks if a geometry are spatially equal.

  Spatially equal means that the same point set is included.

I expect a linestring with zero points to be equal to all empty point sets. I expect a linestring with a single point to be equal to all single point sets where the single points are equal.

Example:
  {{{#!c++
#include <iostream>

#include <boost/geometry.hpp>

namespace bg = boost::geometry;

using point = bg::model::point<double, 2, bg::cs::cartesian>;
using linestring = bg::model::linestring<point>;

int main() {
    linestring empty;
    linestring single_point_linestring {{0.0, 0.0}};
    linestring single_point_linestring_2 {{0.0, 0.0}};
