Theoretically, 5POINT1 and 5POINT1_BACK are different. In practice, I
suspect most projects do not distinguish them.

So I am undecided. What do other people think about that: silently accept
side left+right as rear left+right?

The current behaviour with my patch is to print a warning and let the used
deal with it any way he wants. I think that is correct. Except that there is
currently no good way to deal with it, but this is another issue.
