What to use in v5 in place of point.Set method?

[BigBoulard]

Hi,

I'm migrating to pgx v5, and I can see that the pgtype.Point changed quite a bit.

v5: https://github.com/jackc/pgx/blob/master/pgtype/point.go
legacy: https://github.com/jackc/pgtype/blob/master/point.go

I can see that Status is no more there and that Valid made its entrance so I've changed my tests like below:

// legacy
if p.Status != pgtype.Present { }
// v5
if !p.Valid { }

But what can I use to set a point from a String? I used to do this:

p.Set("(48.006110,0.199556)")

Thank you so much.

There isn't any specific parse string functionality, but I think you could use Scan.

Also, if this was immediately going to be used as a query argument you could skip the step and use the string directly.
