[swift-evolution] [Proposal]: Rectangles and other common structures.

I'm quite biased this week, because I spent *yesterday* writing a file for
my project with "IntRect" "IntPoint" "IntSize" ad nauseam. It's not
something I'm very thrilled to have as part of my Audio app - a lone file
of geometric structs that aready exist if you use CGFloats, where I don't
get the full implementation, etc. And previously, I've written code that I
needed land on whole numbers, and the extra concern about finding the right
options in Cocoa to do so just stressed me out.
