Name
~(geometry,box2df) — Returns TRUE if a geometry’s 2D bonding box
contains a 2D float precision bounding box (GIDX).
Description
The ~ operator returns TRUE if the 2D bounding box of a geometry
A contains the 2D bounding box B, using float precision. This means that
if B is a (double precision) box2d, it will be internally converted to a
float precision 2D bounding box (BOX2DF)
