Indeed, we don't have a precedent of naming a command for
selecting another window in reverse cyclic ordering of windows.
This is why e.g. other-window-repeat-map has to bind
'(lambda () (interactive) (other-window -1))'

For such a command a more suitable name would be other-window-reverse,
not something associated with a clock's hands rotation, because
other-window doesn't visit windows clockwise.

However, when rotate-windows can be visualized as related to a clock,
then rotate-windows-anticlockwise makes sense.  And for clockwise
could omit the suffix as the default operation: simply rotate-windows.
