Yep; that's easier, giving just 2 directional arguments.

This also works, giving all 3 directional arguments:

(7,0)*\ellipse(1,3):a(-90),_,=:a(180){-};

I'm not sure why the 1st and 3rd seem to be being
interpreted differently.
Looks like I'll need to adjust the documentation
to better describe the real usage of these.
