It's a complex struct but defined in EO as a simple struct. ABI-wise
it's equivalent to Eina_Rectangle. Some macros that use Eina_Rectangle
also work on Eina_Rect out of the box, most of the code dealing with
x,y,w,h will require no modifications either.
But Eina_Rect provides direct access to a size or position 2d component,
as well as the usual x,y,w,h. The field "rect" is provided as a
convenience for code dealing with both Eina_Rectangle and Eina_Rect. We
may or may not require it.
Note: Size2D could use unsigned values but I have spotted a few places
in the code that actually use -1 to indicate invalid size (as opposed to
0x0).

This API was introduced in commit:
cd3f8db506
This was since limited to EO only APIs, and totally underexploited.
After that, efl_part() was introduced, which defines how all part APIs
should be designed.
Nothing uses this API, efl_vg had an implementation that provides no
extra value over the other APIs.
Complex types (i.e. list, array, hash, accessor etc.) now do not require
pointers with them anymore (the pointer is implied) and the same goes for
class handles. Eolian now explicitly disallows creating pointers to these
as well. This is the first part of the work to remove pointers from Eolian
completely, with the goal of simplifying the DSL (higher level) and therefore
making it easier for bindings (as well as easier API usage).
