Description
It would be very interesting to see how Wagyu compares against GEOS/MakeValid in PostGIS both from performance and accuracy. It seems that the method for PostGIS is located [here](https://github.com/postgis/postgis/blob/bd3177743db5cb786deb05d7327f39a5cec2daf6/liblwgeom/lwgeom_geos_clean.c#L373-L667) and perhaps it could be extracted and put into a benchmark.
First step would be to determine how to use this method in a standalone fashion if possible.

Research direction
Start by examining the referenced PostGIS implementation in liblwgeom/lwgeom_geos_clean.c, especially lines 373-667, and determine whether the method can be used standalone. Then identify how Wagyu's existing benchmarks are organized and define a comparison that measures both performance and accuracy. Done means a reproducible benchmark can compare Wagyu with GEOS/MakeValid through PostGIS.
