Well, yeah.  But that's still awful to use.  I have not bothered
cleaning up the function (it should really use reduce for finding the
minimum), but one can make the calling much more pleasant.

Hi David,

May I add it to the LSR ?

You're asking David K., but let me just interject for a moment:

I'll post a revision of this in a little while.  It incorporates reduce as David K. suggests, and it also allows you to specify alignments as pairs: left/center/right of one to left/center/right of the other.

I'm not too wild about it, as the function uses 'extra-offset, which is usually "contraindicated."

I remember than Janek was working on a patch for relative alignments like this.  That would be the good way to do what this function attempts.

I have no objections to posting it on the LSR, but I think there should be warnings about its limitations there.

Best,

David
