 I see. One idea that comes to mind then is to split the current class into a 
sane tools::Rectangle and keep the insane stuff in tools::SillyRectangle. 
Then at least it would be clearly defined what is good and what is not, the 
awfulness would be contained, wouldn't spread and its usage could be reduced 
over time.
