Coming PostGIS 2.5 ST_OrientedEnvelope

PostGIS 2.5 is just around the corner. One of the new functions coming is the ST_OrientedEnvelop. This is something I've been waiting for for years. It is the true minimum bounding rectangle, as opposed to ST_Envelope which is an axis aligned bounding rectable.

Below is a pictorial view showing the difference between the two.
