I guess I wonder if in future we'll encounter ISPs that can do
transpose, but I'm happy to ignore the question for now!

I wonder slightly about restoring the behaviour the Pi PH had
previously, but I'm happy to ignore it for now and will add a further
commit at a later date if it is needed.

But overall I think this is a good improvement and shows that
orientations and transforms make sense together (putting aside my
wobbles over transform ordering, though I think those do need
addressing).
