My question is whether it is really the best choice to sacrifice local consistency within a single class just to have it look more similar to equally inconsistently named methods in another class? Anyway, I just wanted to point this out, that's not a hill for me to die on.

The widths are 0 with the PrismTextLayout.  I thought it'll be easier to package this information into a rectangle than simply return a bunch of values in an array and then try to describe the layout.  It also better in terms of extensibility (e.g. if we ever support vertical layouts).
