If you have two different versions of LilyPond, the same object could be subtly moved between the two. But if you measure the area of the overlap area between old and new bbox, you have a pretty good idea how much the result deviates from the original. And if somebody wants to try a super-cool idea, that measure will not only tell how much the output has changed, but also where to look for the largest effect.
Got it. I was mostly thinking about how to match up elements that are supposed to correspond if the structure of the stencils changes even a little: for instance, if ((a b) c) becomes (a (b c)). Once the elements are matched up, we can measure the differences between them in various ways. Han-Wen's method won't necessarily notice if elements get larger (e.g., stems get longer). A more sensitive measure might use both the area of the intersection and the area of the union.
