+VoxelArea: A helper class for voxel areas
+- Can be created via VoxelArea:new{MinEdge=pmin, MaxEdge=pmax}
+- Coordinates are *inclusive*, like most other things in Minetest
+methods:
+- getExtent():  returns a 3d vector containing the size of the area formed by MinEdge and MaxEdge
+- getVolume():  returns the volume of the area formed by MinEdge and MaxEdge
+- index(x, y, z):  returns the index of an absolute position in a flat array starting at 1

+- indexp(p):  same as above, except takes a vector

 A mapgen object is a construct used in map generation.  Mapgen objects can be used by an on_generate
