  • We make createBoundCRSToWGS84IfPossible() more restrictive. If there are more
    than one Helmert transformation from the CRS to WGS 84 covering the area of
    use of the CRS, we do not create a BoundCRS / +towgs84
  • In createOperations() filtering, we are less aggressive in discarding operations
    that have the same area of use but worse accuracy. We do it only if they involve
    more transformation steps.

We now get:

$ projinfo EPSG:5340 -o PROJ
PROJ.4 string:
+proj=longlat +ellps=GRS80 +no_defs +type=crs

$ projinfo -s EPSG:5340 -t EPSG:4326 --spatial-test intersects --summary
Candidate operations found: 2
EPSG:9264, POSGAR 2007 to WGS 84 (2), 0.5 m, Argentina
EPSG:5351, POSGAR 2007 to WGS 84 (1), 1.0 m, Argentina

…with greater 'version numbers' are prefered over other ones, when all other comparison criteria are equal. Helps with Amersfoort RD New to EPSG:4326
