Or read the documentation. -- where UI choices can make it easier to
explain/document.

I would propose that you open a new ticket for your intention to make an
interface with "coherent, grammatically valid sentences" that is consistent
with  "the lower level...how the different controls combine." -- with the
concrete details laid out with actual examples.  (it is unclear to me whether
your Align [F1] to [F2] with offset [F3] will actually work with all cases, and
if not, what changes in underlying code or UI would be required.)

As also noted in the OP, the proposal here is not meant to preclude other
further or different developments with the positioning dialog. 

Meanwhile, although the proposal copied into comment 3 looks -- on the surface
-- to be more or less the same as the OP, there was no intention in the OP to
follow the design criteria (named in comment 5). 

Rather, the present proposal (a) works with the existing implemented lower
level, (b) where the proposed UI changes have been evaluated concretely in
relation to more or less all the anchoring and positioning options, and (c) has
been found to assist understanding the operation of the currently existing
implementation, and (d) can be achieved quickly and easily as an EasyHack
(skillDesign, no skillCpp).
