Review Comment:
   While I wasn't quite able to settle on a two-loop solution that I liked, 
I've tried to a.) further document our assumptions, b.) create some reasonable 
guardrails (see the new intersection compatibility check in `buildIterator()` 
and `Kind#isIntersectable()`), and c.) expand the randomized tests even further.
   
   I'm convinced, at this point, that the patch is correct, and that even a 
rewrite of this intersection logic at a later time  would have sufficient tests 
ensuring it wouldn't make the same mistakes :)
   
   Let me know what you think...
