Expand argument checks and doc on fn contains_sparse(x: List, y: List) -> List

[sakrejda]

Currently the argument checks in fn contains_sparse(x: List, y: List) -> List do not detect if y is made up of points and fails with a cryptic error.

• Probably the solution is to short-circuit the calculation and return a correctly-sized list of empty indexes (?)
• Doc isn't clear about the role of x and y in the asymmetric calculation (AFAICT)

@mjbroerman I know you said you wanted to dabble in rust. This is a baby sized chance. Do you want to give this a shot? Happy to guide you!

My personal preference is that when x is rs_POINT that it errors out. There is never a case where a point can contain a geometry. I suspect it will always be done in error. Best catch that and precipitate. The class can be check with x.inherits("class_name")

edit: thats a lie: a point can contain a point if they are identical..returning an empty integer vector for each elemnt of the list is probably the best solution

@sakrejda, do you have a reproducible example? What is the cryptic error that you're running into?
