page.margin is not affected by the state of page.flipped

[Andrew15-5]

Description

I need to make a document that can and will have a landscape orientation (I really dislike the flipped name btw).

In the guideline I have it is stated, that when a page is in the landscape orientation the margins are supposed to change/move with how the 4 sides of the paper are changed/turned, i.e., if page in the landscape orientation is a "normal-orientation-page turned 90 degrees clockwise", then the top margin becomes what left was, right becomes what top was etc. So I have to do:

#set page(flipped: true, margin: (
  top: page.margin.left,
  bottom: page.margin.right,
  rest: page.margin.top,
))

This way, when you turn the landscape sheet back to how the portrait sheet is oriented, the margins become identical. In other words, if you put #rect(width: 100%, height: 100%) on portrait and landscape oriented pages, then if you stack them all in the portrait orientation then the rect outline on all pages will be in the identical position on a page (mirrored).

But in the v0.11.0 not width & height nor margin of the page is affected by flipped field (I also had to conditionally change custom width and height variables' value manually because of this in the "sub-document" which is included in the main one). I suspect that it was simply never thought of or just wasn't implemented yet (everything is static and not reactive/dynamic). But if it was intentional, then I want to hear arguments against the adaptive field values.
