 * This interface is equivalent to the GM_Composite specified in 

 * <a href="http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue/catalogue_tc/catalogue_detail.htm?csnumber=26012">ISO 19107</a>.

 * A geometric composite shall be a geometric complex with an underlying core 

 * geometry that is isomorphic to a primitive. Thus, a composite curve is 

 * a collection of curves whose geometry interface could be satisfied 

 * by a single curve (albeit a much more complex one). 

 * </p>

 * <p>

 * Composites are intended for use as attribute values in datasets in 

 * which the underlying geometry has been decomposed, usually to expose its topological nature.
