Unity: Rotating GUI text

Just a quick one: Unity/iPhone developer Col000r throws a cool code snippet to do rotated GUI text:

// This comes from Col000r's site: 
//http://col000r.blogspot.com/2009/08/unity-rotated-gui-text.html
function OnGUI () {
   var pos : Vector3 = new Vector3(100, 200, 0); //position for matrix
   var quat : Quaternion = Quaternion.identity; //rotation for matrix
   quat.eulerAngles = Vector3(0, 0, 90); //set the rotation to something - rotate around z!
   GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(pos, quat, Vector3.one); //Apply the matrix 
   GUI.Label(Rect(0, 0, 200, 20), "Some Text"); //notice how the rect starts at 0/0 and the matrix handles the position!
}

I've not tried it, but it's pretty cool. Nice work, Col000r. Col000r's got a lot of great tips for programming, sound, modelling and animating. Definitely a blog worth bookmarking/subscribing to.
