The definition of a radian in Appendix A (A.9) of the Guide for the Use of the
International System of Units is:

"The radian is the plane angle between two radii of a circle that cut off on the
circumference an arc equal to the radius."

You need to accept that definition if you are to have any chance of writing a
credible Units library I'm afraid.
