No, please no.

1. Phobos should not be filled up with trivia.

2. Multiplying by a constant is trivia.

3. Documenting and adding unit tests for trivia is a waste of our very limited
resources.

4. Any numerics programmer who cannot figure out what constant to multiply with
to convert degrees <=> radians has no business using trig functions.

5. Python being bloated with trivia does not mean Phobos should be.

6. Degrees and radians are not distinct types, leading to potentially ugly bugs
if one writes code that mixes the two up.
