 I'm not necessarily proposing a new implementation as such. Yes, something 
like the proposed tools::NewRectangle would be technically a new 
implementation because it'd be simpler to just write the class from scratch 
rather than try to be too smart and share the code with tools::Rectangle, but 
if it would be in the same header and had pretty much the same API, then for 
most practical purposes it would be still part of that already-existing 
implementation.
