No way to force it with mapscript ?

Very nice ! Same as you, I was well surprised when I saw this possibility, but 
then, I don't remember why, I could not play with it as I wanted.
Now, when I want fine tuning labels, I use one or several design layers in 
mapscript (annotation, symbol, ... ). But this means more code and synchro. 
It would be better to have mapserver cope with it alone. Maybe by creating 
symbols on the fly ?
