Hey guys:

I've searched google and postgresql.org but havent found
an answer to this:

The documentation states that the BOX data-type stores
the information as (1st) lower-left corner and (2nd)
upper-right corner.

However, when I try to insert a BOX pair, I get the
reverse. ie...

---------------------------------------------
insert into test values ('(1,1),(10,10)');
select * from test;

thebox
------------
(10,10),(1,1)
---------------------------------------------

(This is on ver 7.02, incidentally)

Wouldn't that be the opposite? Lower right, then upper
left? Is this just a bug in the documentation?

--Thanks
