Would like to target for Juno

Just as clarification: What's still missing is a possibility to place the decorator in front of text decorator outside of the actual text GA.
Flagged as enhancement

Proposed solution

In order to be able to draw outside of the bounds of the decorated figure, I've added the decorating figure to the original figure's parent.

It has some implications on removal, since now the decorating figure isn't contained by the decorating one. Now the decorating figures are explicitly removed in  the deactivate method of the decorated figure.

Also, the real position of the decorated figure is obtained from the constraint in its parent layout instead of its declared bounds, since they are yet not updated.

This allows the decorator to lie outside its owner bounds, not only for text connections, but for any PE.

Proposed solution, second edition

When adding the decorating figure to the decorated figure's parent, add it just after the decorated one, in order to properly support the z-index.
