Waste of Space- "Turn ( ) Degrees" blocks' solution

So I've been making a lot of my blocks lately, and I've noticed something as I was looking through the blocks: The “Turn ( ) degrees” block. I feel like having an option to just select the direction on one block would be a much better idea, as having two separate blocks for it is a waste of space. Plus, what's stopping you from getting a “Turn clockwise ( ) degrees” block and put a negative number, that would just function the same as a “Turn counterclockwise ( ) degrees” block. This is just a minor nitpick but would be cool to see added.

This has been suggested before, but I don't know where it is.

so kind of like this?
turn [clockwise v] () degrees::motion

if so, i don’t think it’s a really user-changing experience, but it’d be a good add nontheless

I believe the two blocks were included for Scratchers that may not be familiar with negative numbers.
