code: def overlaps(a, b, **kwargs):
      """Returns True if A and B spatially overlap.
  
      A and B overlap if they have some but not all points in common, have the
      same dimension, and the intersection of the interiors of the two geometries
      has the same dimension as the geometries themselves.  That is, only polyons
      can overlap other polygons and only lines can overlap other lines.
  
      If either A or B are None, the output is always False.
  
      Parameters
      ----------
      a, b : Geometry or array_like
      **kwargs
          See :ref:`NumPy ufunc docs <ufuncs.kwargs>` for other keyword arguments.

      --------
      prepare : improve performance by preparing ``a`` (the first argument)

      --------
      >>> from shapely import LineString, Point, Polygon
      >>> poly = Polygon([(0, 0), (0, 4), (4, 4), (4, 0), (0, 0)])
      >>> # A and B share all points (are spatially equal):
      >>> overlaps(poly, poly)
      False
      >>> # A contains B; all points of B are within A:
      >>> overlaps(poly, Polygon([(0, 0), (0, 2), (2, 2), (2, 0), (0, 0)]))
      False
      >>> # A partially overlaps with B:
      >>> overlaps(poly, Polygon([(2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 6), (6, 2), (2, 2)]))
      True
      >>> line = LineString([(2, 2), (6, 6)])
      >>> # A and B are different dimensions; they cannot overlap:
      >>> overlaps(poly, line)
      False
      >>> overlaps(poly, Point(2, 2))
      False
      >>> # A and B share some but not all points:
      >>> overlaps(line, LineString([(0, 0), (4, 4)]))
      True
      >>> # A and B intersect only at a point (lower dimension); they do not overlap
      >>> overlaps(line, LineString([(6, 0), (0, 6)]))
      False
      >>> overlaps(poly, None)
      False
      >>> overlaps(None, None)
      False
