Feature proposal: mobileActualAllowedOrientations?

[Brian Milby]

This should be pretty easy... if the app is built to support multiple
orientations the it respects the lock. If it is built to only support one
orientation, it should override the lock. From the thread it seems iOS
already works this way. I don’t think the app should have to do any
checking for this, it should just work.
