Thanks for pointing those out. We should fix it before the release. Or
maybe would you like to play with the docs?

The docs for intersection are generated from doxygen comment:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/blob/develop/include/boost/geometry/algorithms/intersection.hpp
which includes:
https://github.com/boostorg/geometry/blob/develop/doc/reference/algorithms/intersection.qbk
