yes, the vertical alignment gets much better, thanks!

but the problem of whitening the hairpin for the length of the text persists
- clearly the \whiteout approach can not be used here because the whole
stencil is built in the same layer - but then it gets pretty sophisticated,
does it not!?

please don't bother, i just thought it would be nice to have this feature!
