Bug Description

This is really one for the wishlist,

It would be really useful if the validation of the rotation magnitude box was changed to allow two things:
1) Mathematics in the text box eg. 25+45 rather than having to do the maths offline and then copy the numbers around (this would allow me to do a whole lot of research I currently do in Inkscape, because I think it is a much better program!)
2) Ideally the text box would resolve numbers that are entered into it down to the standard Unit Circle angle (eg -180 -> 180 or even -360 to 360) rather than current thresholding approach - it would allow far simpler rotation of objects too!

As far as I can see, part two of this report is resolved, leaving part 1 to be implemented (if there would really be a need to ...).
