I see, then imo 'C-x w r' would probably be better, nemonic for
rerarrange.  I don't see any connection between rotating and flipping
windows under transposing catagory.

Is there really need to be so strict, I mean, having semi-nonsencial but
useful keybindings is better than not having them in the first place.

For example the split window in direction could be 'C-x w n <arrow>',
'n' for new window in direction.  I would rather this than not having
it.  (tbh having four arrows not very useful, as C-x 2 and C-x 3 already
deal with 2 of them).
