Ah, the good old days /sarc
Obviously it’s only a convention, but I think horizontal values should always
precede vertical ones, if only because x comes before y in the alphabet, and
map coordinates are that way around as well. The change to {origin, size} was
also very welcome, if only because moving a rect is now independent from sizing
it, and doing either only changes two values, not four.
