Comment (by strk):

 I don't like change for the sake of change. The function existed for a
 long time, is properly documented, what's wrong with keeping ? You find it
 confusing ? I find it more confusing to have a  tool that keeps changing
 for no reason. "PolygonCW" isn't clear either, to me, btw....

 My mnemonic for "right hand rule" is that the area covered by the polygon
 is on your right hand if you walk on the polygon boundary. Is that not the
 case ?
