See the extraction from the current description below:
"If <oriented> is True, only if the orientation is the same
 Else, whatever the orientation, and the new shape takes the
 same orientation as <newshape> if the replaced one has the
 same as <shape>, else it is reversed".

This description is hardly understandable. At least it many times announced by
our customers.
I suppose it may be done more transparent and friendly in order to understand it from a first reading.
