Comment:

 > Perhaps this need could be met by improving ​ST_ClipByBox2D so that it
 produces valid output geometry?

 For this use case, `ST_ClipByBox2D` won't execute GEOS functions unless it
 needs to (it has bbox shortcuts).

 In any case, I do see the benefit of checking whether one of the input
 geometries of ST_Interects/ST_Intersection is a box to add some shortcuts
 (not exactly the same for both functions but still a benefit).
