Start of a new feature: "Rotate To"

Writing this on mobile, so it's a short post, but wanted to share a simple tool I wrote this morning. Rotate To will rotate selected bodies around a selected axis FROM a line or planar entity TO another line or planar entity. Or will rotate so as to align two axis which are both parallel to the rotation axis (such as holes in two discs).
Easier than copy pasting the exact angle.
This probably exists already, but I just felt like writing.

Wouldn't a transform by mate connectors accomplish the same thing?
No, I want to keep the part where it is, just rotate it so some part of it lines up with some other entity. Sometimes I need to do this a few dozen times, and my FS makes it super easy.
