I'm not sure what you mean.
Maybe i didn't make myself clear?  Here's what i'd like to do:
X-offset of a Stem is currently calculated by a function
Stem::offset_callback (from stem.cc).  I suppose that it would be
possible to use some function from Self_alignment_interface, for
example align_on_parent (probably after making it more generic).

best,
Janek
