| There are a couple of options for those who don't feel that degrees and  
| radians
| should be classified as units :
| 
| 1) continue to use the <cmath> functions and go on your merry way.
| 2) extract the value from the unit like this :  
| std::sin(theta.value()+(theta*theta).value())
| 3) convert the units to dimensionless like this :  
| std::sin(theta/_radians + (theta/_radians)^2)
| 4) write your own dimensional analysis/unit library and prohibit the  
| use of angle tags somehow.

I don't see how anyone can want more options than this ;-)
