Looks like I had missed *under* here.

So lets explain again. If there is clipping the bounding box reported by the 
shape would be different. We can have a shape implement caption that knows how 
to place a text under a shape. I see no problem e.g. for using a container 
that handles that.

There is no problem with how the saving is done at the moment. The problem 
comes when adding more decorations. 
And as said before that is not working atm to have a clip and a text on shape.
