 The wiki
 http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/DevWikiEmptyGeometry
 states that ST_Intersects(geometry, empty) should return false, but it
 results in an error:

 ERROR: Relate Operation called with a LWGEOMCOLLECTION type.  This is
 unsupported.
 HINT:  Change argument 2: 'GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY'


 select * from some_table where "intersects"("geometry"('POINT(40.0
 10.0)'), tablerow_area);

 will not work if any tablerow_area is "geometry"('POLYGON EMPTY').
