It's already the case:

position (mandatory)
    a Perl regexp. The addendum will be placed near the line matching
    this regexp. Note that we're speaking about the translated
    document here, not the original. If more than a line match this
    expression (or none), the addition will fail. It is indeed better
    to report an error than inserting the addendum at the wrong
    location. 

(I just added "Perl" in the first sentence, but the doc is otherwise
unchanged) If it's not explicit enough, please tell me how I could
improve it.

Thanks, Mt.
