I was astonished to see the following functions in the Julia Standard
Library,
functions that accept (or return) degrees instead of radians:
sind asind secd asecd
cosd acosd cscd acscd
tand atand cotd acotd
I didn't find these function names in any other technical computing system.
Each of these functions can easily be reconstructed by the user applying the
functions degrees2radians() and radians2degrees().
I feel these function names clutter the namespace of Julia Base without
being
of any real value. Therefore, I would like to vote for deprecating use of
these
functions in the next version of Julia.
