+bottom border is moved farther down by ``dy``. (Note the the width and
+height of the rectangle thus change by ``2*dx`` and ``2*dy``,
+respectively.) If one or both of ``dx`` and ``dy`` are negative, the
+opposite happens: the rectangle size decreases in the respective
+direction.

+Inflating and deflating behaves *naturally*. Defined more precisely,
+that means:
+
+ * Real inflates (that is, ``dx`` and/or ``dy`` >= 0) are not
+ constrained. Thus inflating a rectangle can cause its upper left
+ corner to move into the negative numbers. (The versions prior to
+ 2.5.4 forced the top left coordinate to not fall below (0, 0),
+ which implied a forced move of the rectangle.)
+
+ * Deflates are clamped to not reduce the width or height of the
+ rectangle below zero. In such cases, the top-left corner is
+ nonetheless handled properly. For example, a rectangle at (10,
+ 10) with size (20, 40) that is inflated by (-15, -15) will
+ become located at (20, 25) at size (0, 10). Finally, observe
+ that the width and height are treated independently. In the
+ above example, the width is reduced by 20, whereas the height is
+ reduced by the full 30 (rather than also stopping at 20, when
+ the width reached zero).
