Then we need to rewrite recording.lisp :) Seriously, we've abused 
rectangles in this way for a very long time; they're too convenient to 
use in the representation of output recording  records. We also 
conflate rectangles, bounding rectangles, and output records, even 
though the spec says they are different. I think the admonition 
"rectangles are immutable" is more in the context of operations on 
regions.
