John Hendrikx has updated the pull request with a new target base due to a 
merge or a rebase. The incremental webrev excludes the unrelated changes 
brought in by the merge/rebase. The pull request contains three additional 
commits since the last revision:

 - Print seed if test fails
 - Merge branch 'master' into feature/ceil-fix
 - Fix Region ceil/floor function guarantees to be more accurate
