Description
Handle the case in which a shape in values intersects two (or more) shapes in by. This would likely lead to two rows in the resulting table, both with the same instance index.
A real dataset when this happens is the Xenium + Visium, where some Xenium cells intersects 2 Visium circles.

Research direction
No file or test entry point is named. Start by locating the aggregation operation and tracing how shapes in values are matched to shapes in by; reproduce the Xenium + Visium case where one value shape intersects multiple by shapes. Done means the resulting table represents those intersections with the expected repeated instance index.
