# The <code>bounds</code> method returns the current bounding box. This is
# useful because the <code>Prawn::BoundingBox</code> exposes some nice boundary
# helpers.
#
# <code>top</code>, <code>bottom</code>, <code>left</code> and
# <code>right</code> methods return the bounding box boundaries relative to its
# translated origin. <code>top_left</code>, <code>top_right</code>,
# <code>bottom_left</code> and <code>bottom_right</code> return those boundaries
# pairs inside arrays.
#
# All these methods have an "absolute" version like <code>absolute_right</code>.
# The absolute version returns the same boundary relative to the page absolute
# coordinates.
#
# The following snippet shows the boundaries for the margin box side by side
# with the boundaries for a custom bounding box.
