Err. That should be Image::Magick::PolyText.

I should not have said 'value' here. I should have said 'purpose'.
I.e. Given that IM is already returning the 4 corners of a box, which
box available would be the most convenient for the caller?
Well, IM can never know the callers intention, so I suggest the simple
expedient of the box being the corners of the possibly rotated glyph, so
the caller at least knows precisely where in x-y space the glyph is.
