The reason the "position" option was added to addf was for interactive work, 
where you are literally building a HAL on the fly from the command line.  If 
you have a hal file, you should just use your text editor to put the addf lines 
in the proper order.  If you are doing it on the fly from the command line and 
realize that some function needs to be early in the thread, the position is the 
only way to do that short of starting over.
