Description

I don't request to change this. Just to remember that I find it strange that regions are always "bounding boxes" and not just the regions. Rationale: If you want to compute a statistic over e.g. some SREX region like CEU (which is a triangle) it is indeed actually nice to see the data in the bounding box, but if I want to do some statistics on the whole thing you will need to go via the mapCube-type of aggregation instead of simply mapslicsing a mean.

Research direction

The issue discusses region handling, bounding boxes, SREX regions such as CEU, and mapCube-style aggregation versus mapslicing, but names no files or tests. First clarify whether non-rectangular region support is wanted and define the expected behavior before locating the relevant region and aggregation entry points; the issue currently provides no concrete completion criteria.
