That's probably more work than what I proposed. Also, DOMQuad.bounds can't
be this kind of DOMRect; the rect returned by DOMQuad.bounds is not
immutable (it can be changed by modifying the points of DOMQuad), but it's
also not a DOMRectMutable (since Web authors can't be allowed to set its
members). So this approach is inadequate.
To be honest I still wish we could avoid duplicating every interface. So

We only need to introduce mutable vs not mutable versions of interfaces
where there are clear needs. Right now we only have a clear need in the
case of DOMRect.
