It would be simpler to enter positions as complex numbers in the first place.

(r.1r2p1) * 3j4

New puzzle: find a complex analysis way to do a rotation given its angle in
radians, examples:

     1r2p1 rottheta 3 4
  _4 3

     1r4p1 rottheta _1 1
  _1.414213562 0

Fairly easy: write a verb that rotates a point in the plane by the angle
of
a given complex number.  For example

      1j1 rot 1 1  NB. Rotate 1 1 counterclockwise 45 degrees
   0 1.414213562

Background information:  when you multiply two complex numbers the
magnitudes are multiplied and the angles are added.
