No objection.
Just it makes preparing the Undo/Redo command slightly more difficult to
code.

Pcbnew rotate has a potential bug relative to the Undo command: in
preferences the rotation can be adjusted to 45 or 90 degrees.
for 90 degrees, no problems.
But for 45 degrees, the undo does not work, because the undo rotate code
assumes a 90 degrees rotation (the actual rotation angle is not stored).
