Strongly recommend add turtle.detectLeft() and turtle.detectRight()
It‘s reasonable and useful

function turtle.detectLeft()
  turtle.turnLeft()
  local detected = turtle.detect()
  turtle.turnRight()
  return detected
end

Afraid I'm not going to add this. I want to keep the turtle commands consistent (for instance, if there's a detectLeft we should also have an inspectLeft, suckLeft, digLeft, etc...), and definitely don't want to go down that route.

Also, it's really easy to implement in user code.

Thanks for your reply,Also I know it's easy to implement in user code,but if I want to know what's on both sides,turtle need to turn&turn even if there is nothing,It wasted a lot of time. Unfortunately,it did not planned,I have implemented it using javassist for myself,just detect and inspect,As for suck and dig,it's illogical,and doesn't fit the player's logic.
