Sure - thanks a lot for your initiative, but note that there is a 
(about) 75% ready implementation already, in the extensions! Please look 
at that first before continuing. What is missing there are the 
multi-versions, I believe that the single-geometry versions do work.

Mateusz did start this but (AFAIK) he did not work on this recently. 
Anyway, he knows all the details.
