Description

It would be good to clarify how IntersectsWith method handles rectangles that overlap borders, X == r.X + Width. WinForms consider this case as not an intersection. WPF considers this as an intersection but does not document this fact either:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.rect.intersectswith?view=netframework-4.7.1#System_Windows_Rect_IntersectsWith_System_Windows_Rect_
The difference between the frameworks is confusing. This could be documented with a sample or even a pointer to reference source website.

Another good note would be to mention that this method ignores integer overflows and might be inaccurate due to this fact.
