It wasn't /intentionally/ omitted.  I it up under the
cunningly-disguised names of "Moving objects" and "Fixing
overlappign notation".  You don't even need to use extra-offset;
those pages list a number of other options for moving stuff
around.

There are plenty of pieces of info which I'll admit are hard to
find in the docs, but this isn't one of them.


Let me say it again, loud and clear: read the Learning Manual.  A
few times.  There's lots of great stuff in there.
