It's true that we do this elsewhere in the API, so it's worth considering. This needs discussion on the developers discussion group first (see our CONTRIBUTING doc).

@groutr in what situation do you run into this? I've never encountered datasets flipped left-to-right. The BoundingBox class is only a data class. I don't think we should add any...

@groutr I disagree with the following statement. > A bounding box of (0, 10, 10, 0) and a bounding box of (0, 0, 10, 10) describe the same region of...

> Does this well-ordering mean that left< right and bottom < top? @groutr no, not always. Often yes. But it will depend on the way the dataset is georeferenced, and...

@groutr rasterio's semantics for "bounds" are unclear. It's a problem. A dataset's `bounds` property is intended to represent what [gdalinfo shows](https://gdal.org/programs/gdalinfo.html#example), the coordinates of the image corners. In this sense,...

@Erotemic and then let the bounds expand to accommodate rotation? It's an intriguing idea and easy to understand. I might be down with that :thinking:

@snowman2 I tried this but its intent is to embed the signature in a docstring if the docstring doesn't already exist. We *have* doctrings, the missing piece is introspect-able method...

@jdmcbr `binding=True` as a global directive didn't have the effect I was expecting, so I didn't try decorating the methods. This almost works, but the keyword nature of the parameters...

@jdmcbr ooh, thanks for digging that up. I think I'll see about fixing Cython and doing nothing here. I'll leave the issue open though, as a reminder.

@skogler I'm very interested in this! Might take a few days to do a proper review, I'm extremely busy with solo parenting and new job next week 😅
