9345	Add support for M component to WKT and WKB I/O	Mateusz Loskot	Mateusz Loskot	"This task is related to [http://lists.boost.org/geometry/2013/11/2669.php Changes in WKB (read) behaviour proposal (WKT Part)] discussion on the list.

We should try to add ability to consume/produce the M (measure) component from/to geometries encoded in OGC WKT and WKB formats.

As Barend explained in the thread linked above:

> We drop the M anyway (currently).
> We cannot handle it because our Point Concept does not contain model-values.

> An easy option would be assigning the M to the third dimension

I think a form of user-defined data assigner, similar to dimension assigners, which uses can enable for adapted geometries would be useful."	Tasks	new	To Be Determined	geometry	Boost Development Trunk	Not Applicable		wkt,wkb
