 *  canvas changes size to become smaller, all dirty rectangles MUST
 *  immediately be clipped to the canvas size.

 *  Get the number of dirty rectangles in a canvas. Dirty rectangles are
 *  areas that contain cells that have changed since the last reset.
 *
 *  The dirty rectangles are used internally by display drivers to optimise
 *  rendering by avoiding to redraw the whole screen. Once the display driver
 *  has rendered the canvas, it resets the dirty rectangle list.
 *
 *  Dirty rectangles are guaranteed not to overlap.
 *
 *  This function never fails.
