When was the last time you needed rotation about multiple axes and they happened
to be x, y and/or z, in that very order?

If it's just a single axis, I find "rotate y*30" much easier to type than
"rotate <0,30,0>" - that is what *I* find tedious. (And besides, I also find it
easier to read and understand at once).

I think it's such a basic operation that it should be higher integrated.

(Well, with that language I have in mind it wouldn't make a syntactical
difference whether it's a "macro" or a built-in thing... aside from requiring
the proper files to be included)
