True... would require some thought.  Difficult but never impossible.  In truth 
the snap I was thinking of is not necessarily "object A has same rotation as 
object B".  Probably it is "object A has an edge parallel to an edge in object 
B".  Might be a simpler problem to solve.

Do you think it is worth a hack?
