💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so basically, tickit_rectset_subtract() does the thing where it makes absolutely sure that the regions stored inside your rectangle set do not include the area given by rect. like, that area? gone. not in the set anymore. periodt 💀

and the way it pulls this off? it might have to split one or more of the existing regions into smaller fragments ✂️ which means — heads up — it may result in more regions being stored than you started with. that's not a bug bestie, that's just the geometry of the situation. the vibes had to fragment. it's giving mitosis 🧚

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

tickit_rectset_subtract() returns no value. it's a void girlie. she does the work, she doesn't hand you a receipt 💅
