Prevent rotations on collisions

Is there a simple flag, API call or setting to prevent objects from rotating on a collision so they would stay restricted to a single axis?

In the onCollision callback you could set the object's rotation to 0...

Found a much nicer way to confine the axis on collisions in documentation on TDN...

$myObj.setMaxAngularVelocity(0);

Works great. I would imagine you could confine to various axis' by rotated the object first then calling setMaxAngularVelocity right after.
