Assess whether a shape intersects with any of the edges of this shape.
Note well that this method must return false if the shape contains or is disjoint
with the given shape.  It is permissible to return true if the shape is within the
specified shape, if it is difficult to compute intersection with edges.

Params:
  • geoShape – is the shape to assess for intersection with this shape's edges.
Returns:true if there's such an intersection, false if not.
