Hi @ntustison , one general point related to this: several users have been tripped up by the fact that
"syn only" starts with COM translation. Would it make sense to include an "initial_transform" in the "def.xfrm" spec, with a default of 'Identity'?

coverage: 79.662% (-0.1%) from 79.806%
when pulling 25986bf on LabelRegList
into 3cf8ac9 on master.

Are we talking about this functionality or ants.registration?

Sorry, yeah this is an ants.registration problem - moot if using the label method.

Okay, that's what I thought I remembered you mentioning a week or so ago in one of the issues you were addressing. I agree that this is a problem and the interface could, perhaps more generally, use some rethinking. Let me take a look and get back to you once I get this particular work settled (in a week or so).
