Remarks
PURPOSE: Imports geometry from Extended Well-Known Binary (EWKB), a PostGIS extension of WKB (Well-Known Binary) that can include Spatial Reference Identifier (SRID) metadata for CRS (Coordinate Reference System) identification.
BEHAVIOR: Parses the binary geometry stream, reads the optional SRID metadata, validates the binary structure, and creates a shape of the appropriate geometry type.
CONSTRAINTS: EWKB is not an OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) standard format. Malformed input raises an exception.
