GROUP BY, togheter with DISTINCT rely on theequality operator
from the btree index. Postgis provides a btree index for specifically
this support. To make things fast the equality only uses bounding
box comparison. If you want to test for vertex-by-vertex equality or topological
equality things would be much slower, and for topological equality the GEOS
library would be an additional requirement.
