Right angle inserter

[tom89194]

I frequently find myself wanting an inserter that could take from one of its sides and then place in front of it, rather than just being able to grab from behind itself.
The current option is to have two inserters (one drops on the ground or in a chest, the second finishes the move to the destination) the problem with this is that it requires more room, which in some cases cannot be made without adding parts to the build.
It may be possible to add this behavior to the current inserters. In order to invoke this behavior the inserter would be configured similar to rotation. rather than rotating the machine the key causes the source direction of the inserter to cycle between: behind, right side, and left side (maybe shift+r)

thanks for what is already a great game
