summer_midday_shade=* is fixing some issues (completely misleading name and/or
specifying horrendously complex conditional syntax)

But it is not changing fact that it would require 
- massive way splitting,
- hard to verify
- specifying shade at any other time would require
   even more tags and even more way splitting

Shade direction seems better, but not sure how it would work in more complex cases,
like shade from multiple directions or shade depending on time of day (with shades reaching
farther as day progresses).
