--- Rotates the given region around a given origin point using a set of rotations.
-- TODO Learn quaternions and make this more effiient.
-- @param	pos1	Vector3		Position 1 of the defined region to rotate.
-- @param	pos2	Vector3		Position 2 of the defined region to rotate.
-- @param	origin	Vector3		The coordinates of the origin point around which we should rotate the region defined by pos1..pos2.
-- @param	rotlist		table<{axis: string, rad: number}>	The list of rotations. Rotations will be processed in order. Each rotation is a table with a SINGLE axis as a string (x, y, z, -x, -y, or -z; the axis parameter), and an amount in radians to rotate by (the rad parameter).
-- @returns	bool,string|table<{changed: number}>	A success boolean (true == success; false == failure), followed by either an error message as a string if success == false or a table of statistics if success == true.
-- 
-- Currently the only parameter in the statistics table is changed, which is a number representing the number of nodes that were rotated.
-- 
-- This is NOT NECESSARILY the number of nodes in the target region..... since rotations and roundings mean the target area the source region was rotated into could have slightly more or less nodes than the source region.
