I made some additions to code. There are still the same issues as before no undo ..
and it is messing up rotating one side. But hope this is helpful.
cheers,

/**@file rotatePolyCmd.cpp -- select some polygons and type in mel //rotatePolyCmd; which will rotate in x all vertices by 45 degrees
@brief v1.0.0 given selected polyShape it rotates all the vertices by 90 degrees

@note the ampersand is alot different from MEL cause in MEL
@note i think only arrays are passed by reference
@note here a boolean type thing can be edited somewhere else and we can see what we got for error checking
