I was already thinking about this, but I'm not sure if this is that good idea.

OTOH the classes will have members that make no sense in some cases, e.g.
change_bounds_inclusion for clipping (assuming it will derive from bounded,
otherwise the other useful functions would have to be duplicated in both
classes). Therefore I'd rather stick with the current solution to avoid defining
six classes with lots of constructors and many identical members...
