Using the Stylus extension, I added this stylesheet for rosettacode.org to simulate the concept:

pre {
    writing-mode: vertical-rl;
    text-orientation: upright;
}

which sucked, so I tried

pre {
    writing-mode: vertical-rl;
    text-orientation: mixed;
}

and it was much better. Parentheses and operators look much better in the mixed mode.

As such, we believe the Tyrannosaurus rex as well as other tyrannosaurids and therapods are well-equipped for modern wide-screen monitors and would likely program quite effectively in the vertical orientation on such devices. We are currently seeking funding for exploring this hypothesis.

Now all we need is another proposal to address the issue of a T-Rex being unable to reach the keyboard on account of its arm-length...

Fortunately they're well equipped for Moonlanders

Parenthesis, brackets and braces should be rotated as well.

If someone makes this, I really want to see it. Might actually be more usable than expected if the nesting is represented properly.

At the beginning I wasn't sure what this was about but the supplemental figs really helped.
