Description

The documentation for intersection reads

Compute the intersection of two geometries or domains g₁ and g₂ and apply function f to it. Default function is identity.

One might then expect to be able to run

orb = Meshes.Ball((0., 0.), 1.0)
square = Meshes.box((0.0, 0.0), (1.0, 1.0))
intersection(measure, orb, square)

which results in a StackOverflowError.

Perhaps "intersection" is not intended for this purpose?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the `intersection` method dispatch for `Ball` and `Box` in 2D, and fix the missing or incorrect method that causes a StackOverflowError.
