     * Tests whether the base {@link Geometry} properly contains
     * a given geometry.
     *
     * The <code>containsProperly</code> predicate has the following
     * equivalent definitions:
     *
     * - Every point of the other geometry is a point of this
     *   geometry's interior.
     * - The DE-9IM Intersection Matrix for the two geometries matches
     *   <code>[T**FF*FF*]</code>
     *
         * In other words, if the test geometry has any interaction with
     * the boundary of the target
         * geometry the result of <tt>containsProperly</tt> is <tt>false</tt>.
         * 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 <tt>intersection</tt> is a fairly slow operation, it can
     * be more efficient
         * to use <tt>containsProperly</tt> to filter out test geometries
     * which lie
         * wholly inside the area.  In these cases the intersection is
         * known <i>a priori</i> to be exactly the original test geometry.
