The problem is that I have a horrible suspicion that not all possibilities 
are actually mentioned in the documentation at the present time .... of 
course my suspicion may well be totally unjustified!!!  I am a staunch 
believer in the documentation - as you know - but I confess to missing that 
ordinal_compass one when I went looking and in fact got 
sidetracked/confused, I think, by the [[ordinates]] labels which I 
discovered whilst trying to find what "ordnates" referred to in the 
original question.
