If we are trying to come up with conversions for different angles, I guess we
should specify all available conversions.
By that I mean: degree, radian, grad (I'm not sure it's the
exact translation from the french word: grade)
where 100 grads = 90 degrees = pi/2 rads

One character cannot serve this purpose as it becomes cumbersome and not very
fault-proof for all the obvious esason. What we could have instsad is an
attribute angle for the scene object or whatever container-object for other
objects that we can set to the different values needed.

Just a thought.
