+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
+ ^ useful for things like VoxelManip, raw Schematic specifiers, PerlinNoiseMap:get2d/3dMap, and so on
+- indexp(p): same as above, except takes a vector

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