This is much more than documented in CSTR 116.  Please show me the
definition of `CORNER' and `PLACENAME'.

According to CSTR 116, `WITH position' isn't possible.  So the
questions changes to: `Where are those extensions documented?' and
`If those extensions are not documented, shall I support them?'

William mentioned that he has an updated pic documentation.  Is this
available online so that I have a reference?

Thanks for digging this out.
