TileRegionTileRegion is a term used to indicate the portion of a Tile that may have targets (i.e. within the union of the TilingBoundaries for a TileRun and outside the union of the TilingMasks for the TileRun and the global TilingMasks). These are not necessarily convex because of the TilingMasks.
