For now, the partially manual process of
1. Click center of element
2. Press Ctrl+X
3. Press ":" and then paste the proper rotate/paste-at command string
generated by the spreadsheet

is satisfactory for me, so don't go out of your way to implement this
for me right now.  I just got excited when I thought I could
completely automate the whole process, but practically speaking,
the partial automation makes the job 90% perfect.

Colin
