Comment (by strk):

 Important thing: the semantic of the function I want to make is NOT the
 same as ST_Overlap, I just realized, because ST_Overlap returns FALSE if
 an area is fully contained in the other. I don't know if an OGC defined
 predicate does exist to mean "areal geometries have some area in common".
 It's probably not ST_Intersects because that one also returns true for
 _linear_ intersections, and it's not ST_Overlap... do we want another
 function with a common meaning for this ?
