merricksdad reports the following observations in discord on 2019-July-7:

• Facing 0 is north
• Players and other CreatureObjects have their faciong measure in the Clockwise direction
• Doors and placeables (static or dynamic) have their facing measured in the Counterclockwise direction
• When measuring the facing of a creature in conversation, GetFacing() will return the creature's facing measured before the conversation starts, rather than the facing of the Creature during conversationm, if it has changed..
