  public boolean intersects(BoundingBox bbox1, BoundingBox bbox2)
  
  Check if two bounding boxes intersect, taking wrap-around into account.
  Wraparound (or antimeridian crossing) occurs when a geography crosses the 180°/-180° longitude line on a map. In these cases, the minimum X value is greater than the maximum X value (xmin > xmax). This represents a bounding box that wraps around the globe.
  For example, a bounding box with xmin=170° and xmax=-170° represents an area that spans from 170° east to 190° east (or equivalently, -170° west). This is important for geometries that cross the antimeridian, like a path from Japan to Alaska.
  When xmin > xmax, a point matches if its X coordinate is either X ≥ xmin OR X ≤ xmax, rather than the usual X ≥ xmin AND X ≤ xmax. In geographic terms, if the westernmost longitude is greater than the easternmost longitude, this indicates an antimeridian crossing.
  
  Specified by:
  
  intersects in interface GeospatialPredicateEvaluators.GeospatialPredicateEvaluator
  
  Parameters:
  
  bbox1 - the first bounding box
  
  bbox2 - the second bounding box
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the bounding boxes intersect
