John Mason, your #4 doesn't satisfy what I infer to be Anne Fontaine's
intended constraints.

One way to say it is that the perimeter must be a right angled octagon, and
as you traverse it counterclockwise you encounter turns in the order
LLLLRLLR.

Fontaine is a combinatorial tiling specialist, and has written about
"U-frame" (LLLLLLRR) and "Z-frame" (LLLRLLLR) polyominoes as well.
