Description
Like with BoundingBox and few other shapes, it would be good to have a rectangle, that is much simpler shape than box, and would be useful in many cases.
It would have position, rotation and size (not halfExtents please).
And would have functionality to check if it intersects with ray or other shapes.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing BoundingBox and other shape implementations in the engine, then determine where a rectangle with position, rotation, and size belongs. Define the required ray and shape intersection behavior and consider the existing APIs as the reference for deciding when the feature is complete.
