+  "Return equivalent geometry value for FRAME as a cons with car `+'.
+A geometry value equivalent to VALUE for FRAME is returned,
+where the value is a cons with car `+', not numeric.
+TYPE is the car of the original geometry spec (TYPE . VALUE).
+   It is `top' or `left', depending on which edge VALUE is related to.
+VALUE is the cdr of a frame geometry spec: (left/top . VALUE).
+If VALUE is a number, then it is converted to a cons value, perhaps
+   relative to the opposite frame edge from that in the original spec.
+FRAME defaults to the selected frame.
+
+Examples (measures in pixels) -
+ Assuming display height/width=1024, frame height/width=600:
+ 300 inside display edge:                   300  => (+  300)
