-/// A child's own region and where in it its drawing goes, from the box it is
-/// offered, the lengths its rules declare, and what its parent chose.
-///
-/// A rule gives the region its length outright -- that is what makes a rule
-/// win, and it is why a widget under one never learns of it -- and the region
-/// then sits where its parent placed it, or where its alignment says if its
-/// parent left the axis open. With no rule the region is the whole of what
-/// was offered, since that is the area a fraction under it is a fraction of,
-/// and what the parent chose is where in it the drawing goes. So the two
-/// coordinate spaces are the same one wherever a placement survives.
+/// A declared axis gets a frame of that length, aligned within the parent's
+/// slot (or the offer). Undeclared axes keep the offered frame and chosen
+/// placement, so their reported fractions retain that reference.
