+# Generalizing the task to N rectangles.
+# These rectangles, given by their bottom left and upper right vertices,
+# are contained within a unique minimal rectangle. This outer rectangle
+# may be divided into (N + 1)² (possibly empty) subrectangles given by
+# all possible x and y coordinates from the original rectangles.  Each
+# of these subrectangles has a clear relation to any of the original
+# rectangles: either they are disjoint or the subrectangle is a subset
+# of the original.  In other words: the characteristic function of any
+# given rectangle never changes inside such subrectangle. For each
+# subrectangle, its center coordinates and its area is recorded.  Then
+# the sum is taken over the areas of subrectangles having their center
+# within any of the original rectangles.  See picture below.
+# This is essentially the surface integral of the OR'ed characteristic
+# funtions over the xy-plane.
