You mean "pos", not arg, right?  Why not just use adj?  You could
define constants northeast = c(1,1), etc, and use 

text(..., adj=northeast)

and it would be a lot clearer than 

text(..., pos=5)

I think it's reasonable to add "circle" as a concept entry, which
would mean help.search('circle') would find symbols.  It already finds
grid.circle.
