Then keybindings could be like these:

C-x w r a       rotate-windows-anticlockwise
C-x w r c       rotate-windows-clockwise
C-x w r h       flip-windows-horizontally
C-x w r v       flip-windows-vertically
C-x w r t       transpose-windows

Agreed.

Also there is 'C-x w d' bound to toggle-window-dedicated,
so the key [D] can't be used to [D]elete a window
neither to [D]isplay a window in the specified direction.

Depends on how often these key sequences are used.
