How many points, how long a curve is, how much surface area, how many triangles. Bounds answers how big; this answers how many and how much.
Its best use is making a count follow the geometry instead of being typed twice. Divide a path's length by the width of a brick and you have the number of bricks, and it stays right when the path is reshaped.
