Ooh.  You're right, Bert.  I forgot that this came up back when John and I were working on the original Morphic, and we wanted rectangle intersection to run faster.

It would be nice to change BitBlt correspondingly to save time and objects (we'd have to make temporary points for it after the change), but yes, I believe the whole thing can be done with a changeSet or two.

This may be a mere distraction from the more important things on the table.
