Comment (by mcayland):

 No, this is wrong as all indexable operators (which is all of the ones in
 the gist_geometry_ops class) only work on the bounding boxes of the
 geometries - remember that && is only a bounding box overlap. So ~= should
 return true if the bounding boxes are equal, regardless of whether or not
 the geometries are the same.


 ATB,

 Mark.
