      \brief A class for binary spatial operators.

      Binary spatial operators are used to test whether
      the value of a geometric property, referenced using the name
      of the property, and a literal geometric value satisfy the
      spatial relationship implied by the operator.<br>
      The following operators are defined in the Filter
      Encoding specification:
      <ul>
      <li>Equals</li>
      <li>Disjoint</li>
      <li>Touches</li>
      <li>Within</li>
      <li>Overlaps</li>
      <li>Crosses</li>
      <li>Intersects</li>
      <li>Contains</li>
      </ul>
