I'd prefer to add new box types to CSSBoxType rather than add new methods
to expose them independently.

But for this particular use-case, it's even more important to add
getBoxQuads() to Range. Anything based on ClientRects is broken if you use
it inside a rotation transform. Admittedly that's rare, but I shudder to
think of how many apps would break if you just put a rotation on <body>...
