---------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- Algorithms used to place various drawables.
--
-- The functions provided by this module all follow the same arguments
-- conventions. This allow:
--
-- * To use them in various other module as
--   [visitor objects](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern)
-- * Turn each function into an API with various common customization parameters.
-- * Re-use the same functions for the `mouse`, `client`s, `screen`s and `wibox`es
--
--
-- <h3>Compositing</h3>
--
-- It is possible to compose placement function using the `+` or `*` operator:
--
--@DOC_awful_placement_compose_EXAMPLE@
--
--@DOC_awful_placement_compose2_EXAMPLE@
--
-- <h3>Common arguments</h3>
--
-- **pretend** (*boolean*):
--
-- Do not apply the new geometry. This is useful if only the return values is
-- necessary.
--
-- **honor_workarea** (*boolean*):
--
--  Take workarea into account when placing the drawable (default: false)
--
-- **honor_padding** (*boolean*):
--
--  Take the screen padding into account (see `screen.padding`)
--
-- **tag** (*tag*):
--
--  Use a tag geometry
--
-- **margins** (*number* or *table*):
--
--  A table with left, right, top, bottom keys or a number
--
-- **parent** (client, wibox, mouse or screen):
--
--  A parent drawable to use a base geometry
--
-- **bounding_rect** (table):
--
-- A bounding rectangle
--
-- **attach** (*boolean*):
--
-- When the parent geometry (like the screen) changes, re-apply the placement
-- function. This will add a `detach_callback` function to the drawable. Call
-- this to detach the function. This will be called automatically when a new
-- attached function is set.
--
-- **offset** (*table or number*):
--
-- The offset(s) to apply to the new geometry.
--
-- **store_geometry** (*boolean*):
--
-- Keep a single history of each type of placement. It can be restored using
-- `awful.placement.restore` by setting the right `context` argument.
--
-- When either the parent or the screen geometry change, call the placement
-- function again.
--
-- **update_workarea** (*boolean*):
--
-- If *attach* is true, also update the screen workarea.

--- Move a drawable to a relative position next to another one.

-- the side selected by the `preferred_positions`. Both settings are tables of
-- priorities. The first available slot will be used. If there isn't enough
-- space, then it will fallback to the next until it is possible to fit the
-- drawable. This is meant to avoid going offscreen.
--
-- The `args.preferred_positions` look like this:
--
--    {"top", "right", "left", "bottom"}
--
-- The `args.preferred_anchors` are:
--
-- * "front": The closest to the origin (0,0)
-- * "middle": Centered aligned with the parent
