Recently I had a need for placing labels on points with predetermined rotation for label which is available in dataset.

Ideally we could end up with something like this
{{{

}}}

I've noticed that there is undocumented support for ''orientation'', which could be used in parallel with ''rotation'', i.e. to render all labels with static orientation="45" and rotation="FEATURE_ROTATION" which is applied to reoriented label.
