#111 Make auto and sloped work together

[Torbjorn]

This comes from https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/415863/how-to-convince-edge-labels-to-be-above-below-edge-when-they-are-slanted

---

An example:

\documentclass[tikz, margin=3mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{quotes}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[auto]
  \draw (0,0) to ["AA"] + (0,2);
  \draw (1,0) to ["BB" sloped]   + (0,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Due to the auto option, the AA node is placed nicely next to the line, as the anchor is set to east (I guess). But this doesn't work well when sloped is in effect, as the node is rotated, so BB is placed on top of the line (see attached screenshot).

Would it be possible to implement some sort of check, so that if auto is active, the anchor is set to (for this particular case) south instead of east when sloped is used?

Thank you for the suggestion and providing a link for a patch which is incorporated now.

No, it is not the patch which is incorporated but my own solution.
