docs: <p>
  Change the view on the map by applying a bounding box (world coordinates!). Since the width/height ratio of the
  bounding box may differ from that of the map, the fit is "as good as possible".
  </p>
  <p>
  Also this function will almost certainly change the scale on the map, so if there have been resolutions defined,
  it will snap to them.
  </p>
  
  @param bounds
  A bounding box in world coordinates that determines the view from now on.
