Well, you're apparently correct. An object doesn't necessarily have to be
rectangular. I mean, the two are the equivocal only if the object  _is_ a
rectangle.

In addition, in the first case you can use the rectangle numbers alone. IOW,
you can use the rect numbers of a rectangular object to define an area even
if it's hidden (I think) or there are other objects on top of it.
