The current Decisions use Position to refer to:
1 - absolute location in a row (eg 'blows in each position')
2 - relative location in a row (eg 'one position further from the lead')
3 - the location of dodges (eg 'from one dodging position to another')
4 - the location of calls in a composition
They use Place to refer to:
a - classes of method
b - consecutive blows in the same place (eg at least one internal place)
c - absolute location in a row (eg 'below mths place')
Some of the overlap is disambiguated by the context of use, but not all. A
clearer separation would have merit.
