I thought about that name also :-)

Good idea.

Don't forget t (top) and b (bottom).

What about [-]number? Could be used to position from the opposite side.
With this syntax we even do not need l/r/t/b at all. E.g.:

	splashpos=m,-20  # x'centered and 20 pixel from bottom
	splashpos=-0,-0  # rigth, bottom screen corner

Just an idea :-)
