Your analysis is correct. However, for our purposes, we don't  care about
right or lefthanded coordinate systems. Of course you can define your own
"rotation matrix", as long as you fulfill the symmetry requirements as defined
in case.outputs.

You may have a look into SRC_symmetry, where the rotation matrices are
determined, and in other programs (eg. lapw2/l2main) where they are used
(be carefull, there might be tricks like transposing a matrix during
reading,...)
