Parameter names for box/rect width and height are confusing

I recognise this may be subjective, and there may be compatibility issues with altering the names that prevent change here. I wanted to open a discussion and see if I'm alone in getting these constantly mixed up.

Currently width is used for distance in Y, length for X. The problem is, depending on the shape, these might be swapped. For example, the front of a car is its width, which would be on the X. From quick googling, the only consensus I can find is that length is the long side and width is the short side, which is clearly not appropriate for cad modelling.

Openscad uses width for X as well, but uses depth for Y - which is much less ambiguous.

I propose renaming width to depth in this instance, but really just want to discuss and see what the maintainers think
