In any case checking specifically for a rectangular region is wrong.
Having a "fast-path" for the case of a simple contiguous region is fine,
but the "slow&complex" path is not just for rectangular regions:
the code should also work with a region made up of various
arbitrary chunks (there's currently no package that provides this
feature, but that's no excuse).
