Yes we need it. How else would you make a painted object go upright on the screen? It disables actual rotation and automatically flips the graphic depending on heading. Flip and tumble are just one-shot operations that change the graphics. 

IMHO, calling them "flip left right" and "flip up down" would be simpler to understand, and consistent with the rotation style terms.

Did you mean to write "we should"?
