The code clearly stores the 'high' corner first, then the 'low' corner.

If we weren't just about to make a release, I'd be tempted to change
the code to match the documentation, since low-first would seem like
the obvious representation.  But I suppose we'd better do the
conservative thing and change the docs ...
