'bounded_by' is still going to be for manual bounding of objects and
'clipped_by' for clipping (cutting away) objects.  'contained_by' has apparently
been used to distinguish between the usual bounded_by usage so as not to confuse
it when creating a isosurface.  The reasoning beyond that is unclear to me
except that the terminology now means it is a container area of sorts instead of
just a ray trace boundary.
