That'd be ok from a usability standpoint. Effort-wise, would this be a lot
of work?

I'm not introducing any API that takes vtkBoundingBox as input, so we'd
just have to wrap the case where they're returned, if that makes it easier.

As an aside, would it be difficult to have these handled as objects? If we
could handle vtkBoundingBox, we could probably start using the wonderful
vtkVector implementations, too.
