It's a double-edged sword though.. See sure it would allow for nice effects, maybe save people some time.. but then you would have to people thinking it's okay to make one graphic and then use the scripting to rotate it into other sides or something.. and not give it any different shading or lighting so it looks really awkward.
I'm all for this rotation/flipping thing. It would save me a bit of time with some stuff that doesn't look any different flipped. For example, some plantlife and things that you have as npcs in your level, could have some variation if you flipped them around horizontally. (depending on if it isn't mirrored already)
