This, frankly, sucks.  It's incredibly annoying putting one value to a
property to get another completely different value back.

I must say that I _greatly_ prefer the absolute method (ie origin being
parent's topleft) to the inline method (ie origin being a boxes starting
position) for using x/y.  But, either way, box x/y reading needs to be
the same as box x/y writing.

When you put to Box.x or Box.y, it transforms the box relatively from it's
starting position.  Yet when you read from Box.x and Box.y, it gives a value
relative to the parent's topleft corner.  This is incredibly counter-intuitive.
