Description

It's marked with a TODO and we should do it. In situations where we would need to instantiate a SpatialContext just to create a Shape (which will probably only occur like this when bootstrapping the Context), we should just use RectangleImpl.

Start at SpatialContextFactory.initWorldBounds and inspect the TODO and the current shape-instantiation path. Replace that bootstrap-time creation with direct RectangleImpl instantiation, then verify the existing project tests still pass and that initWorldBounds returns the expected bounds.
