Then say so!
A bbox (short for "bounding box") of an object is a rectangle which is the
minimal enclosing rectangle [1]. Typically this is written as x0 y0 x1 y1
where x0 < x1 and y0 < y1.
Now, the overlap area between two bboxes is just the intersection, which
is again a rectangle, or empty.
If you have two different versions of LilyPond, the same object could be
subtly moved between the two. But if you measure the area of the overlap
area between old and new bbox, you have a pretty good idea how much the
result deviates from the original.
And if somebody wants to try a super-cool idea, that measure will not only
tell how much the output has changed, but also where to look for the
largest effect.

sides are parallel to the axes.
