Juri, what do you think?  IMO we could have
C-x w t   - transpose
      f   - flip window veritcly
      C-f - flip window horizontally
      r   - rotate clockwizse
      C-r - roate anti clocwise
      c   - rotate layout
      C-c - other direction rotate layout

IMO preserving keybindings for future use is premature optimisation,
breaking backward compatibility in terms of keybindings is generally
harmless.

Also is there any reason emacs doesn't bind M-{A-Z} (eg M-H), even
though they work on tty?  If not, someone, if not us, should break the
ice on using these bindings, we could bind rotate-window-layout to M-R.
That could be super handy, it's much more ergonomic than suepr key.

We discussed this previously, and decided that it should not be in
window.el as it is loaded, instead we should put it in an autoloaded
file.  IMO we should make new file window-transpose.el, putting it in
windowmove would not make much sense.  wdyt?
