> The current API for performing slerp operations with {{QuaternionRotation}}
> instances is somewhat cumbersome. The {{QuaternionRotation.slerp}} method
> returns an instance of {{org.apache.commons.numbers.quaternion.Slerp}}, which
> cannot be directly used with any of the other classes in commons-geometry.
> The use cases therefore end up looking like this:
> {code:java}
> QuaterionRotation start = ...;
> QuaternionRotation end = ...;
> Slerp s = start.slerp(end);
> Quaternion midQuat = s.apply(0.5); // commons-numbers objects
> QuaterionRotation mid = QuaternionRotation.of(midQuat); // convert to
> commons-geometry object
> {code}
> I propose that the {{QuaternionRotation.slerp}} method return a small wrapper
> class (perhaps named {{SlerpFunction}} to avoid a name collision with
> {{Slerp}}) that makes this more convenient.
> {code:java}
> QuaterionRotation start = ...;
> QuaternionRotation end = ...;
> SlerpFunction s = start.slerp(end);
> QuaterionRotation mid = s.apply(0.5); // no conversions needed
> {code}
