[Snippet] Real2D

Interpretation of real point with helper classes. Real2D is a parent struct to Point and Size structs, and is similar to a Pair object of two reals with ctor, dctor and set2 members to manage its instances.

Both Point Coord and Size are a useful data structures for graphics operations. Point Coord is designed to basically replace location functionality without really being a location object while Size instance represents size, usefull when working with regions, rectangles or even polygon figures.

Note: the x and y stored inside a Point Coord object, as well as width and height stored inside a Size object may be negative and that Point Coord nor Size functions do not perform any check against negative values.

Although Point Coord is almost an equivalent to Size, it has a different meaning: Point Coord represents a position while Size represents the size. They differ in interface too.

I never ended up using more than 8192 instances of this even when playing with geometry in some maps.

I think that reduction of global variables in this case is good - if you know that some class of objects won't be used as frequently, you should consider modification of approach used - this is what I did here.

Most of recursive calls will be inlined and the idea of parent 2DReal might we good in some cases when you need access just to basic fields.
 
Real2D came from wxWidget implementation of wrapper library related to screen coordinates - I haven come up with anything better :)

Coord seems nice!

If I were to add those globals, the generic lib probably would lose it's meaning, wouldn't it?
Also, doesn't most of those calls inline? If so, is there any efficiency loss in those cases? I'm asking because I just want to know what's the best approach.
 
Removed parent struct Real2D and renamed Point to Coord (this might be a subject to change tho).

Removed following methods:
* method isSpecified takes nothing returns boolean
* method setDefaults takes thistype pt returns nothing
* method assignBySum takes thistype pt returns thistype
* method assignByDiff takes thistype pt returns thistype

and for size:
* method incByPoint takes Point pt returns nothing
* method incBySize takes thistype s returns nothing
* method decByPoint takes Point pt returns nothing
* method decBySize takes thistype s returns nothing

constant real DefaultCoord is also gone.

There are inc/dec 'To' and 'By' methods for Size already, additional ones seem unnecessary.
setDefaults/isSpecified are good, but not in jass environment.

Added offset (by vector 2D xx,yy) and project (rotation) methods for Coord struct.

'set2' is now setXY and setWH for Coord and Size respectively. Structs no longer share common instances - this might also be a subject to change.
