Feature Request align transparent text subgraphs vertically

I'm using text subgraphs to annotate candles above and below the candlesticks.

When I set the text subgraph value below the candle to be the low of the candle it displays neatly below the candle.

But when I set the text subgraph value above the candle to be the high of the candle it displays over the candle and is unreadable.
my work around is to use ticksize and a configurable ratio to vertically offset the text subgraph above the candle, but this is messy and changes for different timescales and scales.
Could you guys support a vertical alignment to TOP/BOTTOM for these subgraph texts? or a TRANSPARENT_TEXT_ALIGN_TOP to enable this to work neatly for me?

Thanks

So I guess I'm after a TRANSPARENT_TEXT_ALIGN_BOTTOM instead of TRANSPARENT_TEXT_ALIGN_TOP as the default TRANSPARENT_TEXT is already aligned to the top.
