#4832: St_intersects on geography crossing equator

      Type:  defect   |     Status:  new
  Priority:  medium   |  Milestone:  PostGIS 3.1.1
 Component:  postgis  |    Version:  3.0.x
Resolution:           |   Keywords:  st_intersects, hemisphere

Comment (by mschott):

 PS:
 I checked that the behaviour presented in the example is not due to
 greographies working on the great circle, but one might want to double
 check.

 If st_intersects is not working with elements crossing the equator, it
 might be better to throw an error or return null instead of a false
 'FALSE'.
