Rectangle.Inflate - .NET Framework

Hi,

Why no inverse of this method? We can inflate but not deflate or shrink?
Thanks.

Inflate is just a convenience method. You can always create a new
rectangle. I think the reason it's included is to simplify hit testing.

Use negative numbers for the inflate values to deflate the rectangle.

Then maybe its a bad name for a method. it should be rescale() or something.

Maybe, but it changes the size and location of the rectangle. Thus, names as
rescale or resize are not completely correct as well, I think.
