New issue 2325 by address@hidden: rotation in its current form  
should be eliminated and replaced by a stencil command

From Mike Solomon's e-mail:

rotation is a bit bunk in LilyPond - it is only applied to stencils after  
everything else is done (it is applied in grob.cc right before being sent  
to the backend).  It needs to be built into the stencil from the get-go.   
Actually, it needs to be eliminated altogether and replaced by a stencil  
command...
