* - Every point of the other geometry is a point of this geometry's interior.
*
- The DE-9IM Intersection Matrix for the two geometries matches
*
[T**FF*FF*]
*
* In other words, if the test geometry has any interaction with the boundary of the target
* geometry the result of containsProperly is false.
* This is different semantics to the {@link Geometry#contains} predicate,
* in which test geometries can intersect the target's boundary and still be contained.
*
* The advantage of using this predicate is that it can be computed
* efficiently, since it avoids the need to compute the full topological relationship
* of the input boundaries in cases where they intersect.
*
* An example use case is computing the intersections
* of a set of geometries with a large polygonal geometry.
* Since intersection is a fairly slow operation, it can be more efficient
* to use containsProperly to filter out test geometries which lie
* wholly inside the area. In these cases the intersection is
* known a priori to be exactly the original test geometry.
