I had no plans to change that -- the creator of a bounds should know
what projection it's in? If it's coming from the map, there is
map.getProjectionObject to tell you? 

It's easy enough to store it at creation time, but manually created
bounds obviously couldn't have it -- we could store it as a property on
reprojection, I suppose, though I worry about cleaning up those
references... I doubt bounds has a proper destroy() or that we're using
it diligently, since it doesn't interact with the DOM.

Can you explain what you'd need it for?
