suggestion:  could the R team please add positions 5 through 8 for the 
arg parameter in text(), which would select the diagonals (northeast, 
southeast, southwest, northwest)?

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)

PS:  thanks for all the earlier circle help.  knowing some of the 
predispositions of the R developers, I probably should not suggest 
adding to the documentation

  please see ?symbols and ?grid.circle

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.
