You can have images in other buffers, too, and the `r' for "rotate"
seems very natural.  And `r' for "return" is a generally accepted
command in many Emacs modes, so I don't really know which one to change.

It's presumably to have the image commands not disappear if there's an
image in a link.  Too bad Emacs doesn't have a way to add several local
keymaps using text properties...
