I don't know what that smiley means in this case, but just to be
clear:

No, really, I don't.  My Powerpoint presentation was about
illustrating the MPL, not about how to properly build a dimensional
analysis library.  Whether to represent angle as a dimension was an
arbitrary choice that had to be made.  If I'd done it the other way,
you'd be claiming I had taken the opposite position.
