I suspect this won't work at all on windows due to the way the
transform is implemented there, but someone should probably check.

'r' for reverse, maybe?

Is it possible to do the mirroring before the rotation instead of as
part of it? I feel like it would make the code a little clearer,
although I suspect you're doing it in the rotation to reduce the
number of calculations? Would it be possible to have both horizontal
and vertical mirroring?
