In most cases, I think rectangle tool works better than the polygon tool if we were allowed to tilt the rectangles. Most images I have to use in IO have slightly tilted text which means I need a rectangle but slightly rotated. Can this be done?

NB1: editing on older clients can be destructive (rotation-wise only), as the `angle` IO cloze property would be stripped out
NB2: 6d767c4fffeedd9efead08029465138ac880eba7's message is mistakenly misleading, it's not meant to be a full revert of that commit
EDIT: the bounds checking leaves one case unresolved: a thin diagonal rect can have a bounding box large enough that it still remains in the canvas, but the actual rect itself is far enough away as to be hidden. we could check for non-intersection with the canvas, but im not sure where the mask should be moved to. thoughts?
By the way, how does the rotation work? I mean from the user’s POV.
