It's worth noting that "centering an object" rarely makes sense, since most
things don't have a centre in human terms, and nothing has a centre in POV
terms. Using the bounding box is a workaround, but, for example, the centre of
an L-shaped shape, according to its bounding box, is going to be an empty area
(half way and half way along).

I realise that this isn't really an issue when thinking about a text-string, but
conceptually you can get very stuck if you think of POV objects as having a
centre (generally because, if you decide that objects have a centre, then you
expect transformations to work with those centres).
