  I would not mind if the rotate command would be changed to take radians
instead of degress. I would seriously mind if the trigonometric functions
would be changed to take degrees instead of radians.
  Mathematical functions are exactly that: Mathematical functions. There is
a very good reason to use radians for the trigonometric functions in
mathematics. For example the integral of 1/(1+x^2) is atan(x). You can
easily imagine why it would not not work with degrees.
  Changing the rotate command to take radians would make povray consistent.
