Description:        Missing Expected Operator
Details:

Not a bug as such, but an obvious operator is missing.

  WHERE
    g.box_boundary @> w.geocode and
ERROR: operator does not exist: box @> point
    g.boundary @> w.geocode;

This can be worked around with, the following, but it is really a kludge.

WHERE
   g.box_boundary @> box( w.geocode, w.geocode ) and
   g.boundary @> w.geocode;
