    Description

       * The operator `OVERLAPS` determines whether or not two chronological periods overlap in time. A
       * chronological period is specified by a pair of datetimes (starting and ending).
       *
       * If the length of the period is greater than 0, then the period consists of all points of time
       * greater than or equal to the lower endpoint, and less than the upper endpoint,
       * a.k.a [lower, upper).
       *
       * If the length of the period is equal to 0, then the period consists of a single point in time,
       * the lower endpoint, a.k.a [lower, lower].
       *
       * Two periods overlap if they have at least one point in common.
