Mentioned during DuckCon#6 in Amsterdam to some DuckDB developers.
For this request, "Linear Referencing Functions" I refer to are to fulfill feature parity with PostGIS implementation of spatial functions that make use of the M dimension or fractions of the length of (Sub)Linestrings.
https://postgis.net/docs/manual-3.0/reference.html#Linear_Referencing
Particularly, we are interested in those that can be used to locate and generate geometry subsets based on the value of the M dimension of larger geometries. This is crucial for applications such as railway or roadway engineering as well as logistics.
The only function from the PostGIS manual 3.0 that we wouldn't find a use for would be ST_3DLineInterpolatePoint
For more information of usage of linear referencing see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_referencing
This idea has been moved from other repo on request of a maintainer
