Polygons are not closed

I noticed when drawing polygons with the Drawing Manager they are not closed (i.e. no coordinates for the last point to the first).. I know Google Maps API v3 will automatically close the polygon but Google Earth, Google Static Maps API or any other software I try to import the data into..

My problem is, I use the geometry lib to save encoded polygons.. Is there any way to push a copy of the first point to the last in the overlays object before encoding?

My work around is to getPaths().getArray() to my own array, make the copy and then use a javascript lib to encode which works ok but is a lot of code.. Just wondering if there is an easier way?

Something like this should add the first point of the polygon to the end of the MVCArrry (not tested).

myPoly.getPath().push(getPath().getAt(0));

(assumes a simple polygon with one path, getPath returns the first path)
