+      The polygon && (overlaps) operator formerly just
+      checked to see if the two polygons' bounding boxes overlapped.  It now
+      does a more correct check.  The polygon @> and
+      <@ (contains/contained by) operators formerly checked
+      to see if one polygon's vertexes were all contained in the other;
+      this can wrongly report true for some non-convex polygons.
+      Now they check that all line segments of one polygon are contained in
+      the other.
