--- Comment #5 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> ---
I was about to argue the details, but this whole method doesn't even work.

Suppose you take a square, copy it, rotate the copy by 45 degrees, and take the
fragmentation. The number of regions is now 9, not 3. How would you address
this?

> The effort is 1 minute.

Let's grant that for the moment (even though it can't even be done at all in
the general case, it seems). So, 1 minute for 3 regions, or 20 seconds per
region. Let's even say it's much lower - just 5 seconds per region, since I'm
kind of quick and experienced. Or 15 seconds in total. Easy peasy.

Now I have, say, 10 shapes selected. How many regions are there in the
fragmentation? You saw my example above. It's not even as low as 2^10! It's
probably something like the product of all numbers of edges of the shapes,
perhaps minus 1? So, 10 rectangles - maybe... 3^10 or so. How much time would
that take me to do manually?

Really? Please sketch out the code for that macro. For the general case of N
shapes of course.
