We've had texture rotation for years.  What's tricky is tiled texture rotation.

Reminds me that there is another situation to be aware of for those purchasing texture resources from broker sites {not here} that are claiming to be tileable. Take a good look at the edges and steer clear of those "artists" -- they obviously don't know how to tile a texture. Sadly there seem to be a growing number of them.
