I don't know the current state, but some of my own IC libs use it.

I've been using last quadrant (top left) positioning for ICs that have
pins on all edges. Pin ends on the axes. That way positioning stuff
seems easier. I'd guess it only works for right handed though.

After some schematic symbol object work (as discussed in the archives)
this would be easy to do by using "body" as a reference for component
center.

The current implementation is fine as it is. Thank you Henner!
