---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Sage should allow the use of degrees as well as radians. This could work
by bringing the degree unit into the main namespace, and modifying
trigonometric functions to convert from degrees to radians before
evaluating, such that
{{{
sage: n(sin(90 * degree))
}}}
would return 1.
As well, perhaps there could be a global setting that assumed degrees
instead of radians.
