In some cases it's positioning one rectangle within another; in
other cases it's positioning a point within a rectangle.

If you treat the second case (point in rectangle) as a special case
of the first (rectangle in rectangle) where the inner object always
has 0 width and 0 height, then they're not different; it's just that
the second case is more limited.
