Ok, can we start form the test? Is it ok, that the test passes for rectangle with 10 @ 20 extent and fails for 15 @ 20 extent? Uko

Should it really be like that?
The problem is that you can't have half-a-pixel if a dimension is odd
For these situations, I would use the method #floor or #rounded of the class Point, or create the method #roundedCenter, as Natalia suggested.
Currently, the name of the class and the method communicate the wrong behavior.

Rectangle was and still is a primitive type known to low level graphics operations. It's just that it pre-empts a word that is more generic than the implementation ;)
You can't even rotate a rectangle... It's just a clipping or viewport rectangle having same orientation as a rectangular target canvas (image, bitmap, screen or other device).
Depending on what you are after, it's maybe not the right abstraction...
That does not mean that Rectangle can't be changed. That means that it must be carefully changed as long as it is used for the low level stuff...
...or it must be split. Maybe it's where namespaces might help.
