The value may be a positive number POS, or a list of the form `(+
POS)' which permits specifying a negative POS value.
What? (+ POS) permits a negative POS value?
Yes. There are actually two "signs" to specify here:
which edge to count from, and which direction to count in.
A positive number positions the frame left from the screen left.
(+ POSITION) positions the frame left from the screen left,
a and POSITION may be negative.
A negative number positions the frame right edge from the screem right.
(- POSITION) also positions the frame right edge from the screem right,
and allows POSITION to be negative.
I propose just removing these confusing parts. It reads much better
without them.
If it is confusing, we should clean it up, but just discarding
this information is not a solution.
