I don't know if we'd explicitly want to create this (I suspect not), but
the easy fix is for you to write this class yourself, with the same fields
as a Rectangle has, and I think (don't quote me) the copy constructor and
the (x,y,width,height) constructor, and then just do a search and replace.

The methods of the Rectangle class are used nowhere, so this is fast and
dirty. And it'll work.
