// RenderRegionSet represents a set of regions that all have the same width and height. It is a "composite region box" that
// can be used to represent a single run of contiguous regions.
//
// By combining runs of same-size columns or pages into a single object, we significantly reduce the number of unique RenderObjects
// required to represent those objects.
//
// This class is abstract and is only intended for use by renderers that generate anonymous runs of identical regions, i.e.,
// columns and printing. RenderMultiColumnSet and RenderPageSet represent runs of columns and pages respectively.
//
// FIXME: For now we derive from RenderRegion, but this may change at some point.
