system.orientation returns one of the “6” orientations… the problem is that all 6 aren’t really useful. I want to know if it’s landscape or portrait. If I get a faceup/facedown, then I still don’t really know how to layout the screen… I can lay the phone on the table faceUp, landscape… or faceup, portait.
So, I’d humbly request this turn into something that returns one of the 4 actual orientations AND a faceUp/faceDown/nil-if-not-set thingy.
… I can likely duplicate this functionality by adding an orientation change event and then tracking it… but I’m writing a utility set that I want to use in many apps… which means tracking orientation changes in many apps just for the tools. That’s silly. 
Ooooor… maybe/hopefully I’m missing something far simpler. ??
