Comment(by dustymugs):

 I'd rather see us keep the seamless operators at the expense of being
 commutative.  Having ST_IntersectsAsRaster and others like it will get
 really old and really fast.  I think users would prefer to learn just one
 function name and then switch in and out geometries and rasters.  I know I
 do.

 This will also affect:

 ST_Within

 ST_Contains

 ST_Overlaps

 ST_Difference

 ST_SymDifference

 ST_Equals

 ST_Disjoint

 ST_Touches

 ST_Crosses

 ST_Covers

 ST_IsCoveredBy

 ST_Relate
