Hello, thank you for the revised patch.
The only comment from me is about comments on the new over*2D
funnctions.

Thank you for the explanation and the test with fixed numbers.
I clearly understand what is the problem.

(different result for the same queies)
The minimal bad example for the '&<' case is the following.
=# create table t (b box);
=# create index on t using spgist(b);
=# insert into t values ('((215, 305),(210,300))'::box);
=# select * from t where b &< '((100,200),(300,400))'::box;
b
---------------------
(215,305),(210,300)
(1 row)
=# set enable_seqscan to false;
=# select * from t where b &< '((100,200),(300,400))'::box;
b
---
(0 rows)
Index scan excludes the row and it obviously is not a difference
comes from error nor tolerance.
The current overLeft4D is equivalent to the following.
| FPlt(rect_box->range_box_x->left.high, query->right.high) &&
| FPlt(rect_box->range_box_x->right.high, query->right.high)
This is translated into the BOX context as the following.
| FPlt(range high(low.x), query->high.y) &&
| FPlt(range high(high.x), query->high.y)
Yes, it is obviously wrong as your report.
The code part of the v02 patch looks very good than the previous
one. It is exactly what I had in my mind. Thanks.
The following comment,
> /* Can any range from range_box to be overlower than this argument? */
This might be better to be using the same wording to its users,
for example the comment for overLeft4D is the following.
| /* Can any rectangle from rect_box does not extend the right of this
argument? */
And the documentation uses the following sentsnce,
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/functions-geometry.html
| Does not extend to the right of?
So I think "Can any range from range_box does not extend the
upper of this argument?" is better than the overlower. What do
you think?

Nonrandom data is good. I'd like to compare the result of
corresnponding queries but unfortunately we don't have outer-join
on boxes. Anyway the test is enough since it detects this bug.
I confirmed other functions in geo_spgist but found no bugs like
this.

Thanks, this looks bery good.
