When using trigonometric functions, they all deal with radians. So
I've been having to do lots of converting. Converting is very
straightforward, but I still think it would be nice if there were some
built in functions for dealing with other units than radians. I think
a system that looked like what is used for the Duration struct in
core.time would make things more readable. The code for taking the
sine of a number measured in degrees could look like:
sin!"degrees"(45)
rather than
sin(45*PI/180)

I appreciate the suggestion, but suspect that adding a parallel set of trig functions that do nothing more than multiply the arg by a constant is more cognitive load for the user than benefit.
