Re: Bounding box of a group with a transformed child

Yeah good point.  That was a bad argument anyway because fills are
transformed along with the object.  So they aren't affected.  Filters will
be, but most of them won't be visually altered by a filter region that is a
bit too large.

sqrt(2) is the biggest error for a single object.  But if you have a group
of objects, chances are high that the error will be much lower when the
bboxes are unioned.
