We could also make deg2rad and rad2deg work on any argument that supports multiplication with a scalar.

That's also a sensible idea. I'm putting this out there as an RFC: it seems to make sense to me that this function is well-defined for square matrices since it can be defined in terms of a Taylor series. If people think that makes sense I'll add tests for this behavior as well.

Is there any geometrical meaning of computing a sine/cosine of a matrix in "degrees"?

@StefanKarpinski I think I can help here, but I need to understand what is to compute a degree trig function in a matrix. I am not seeing a geometrical meaning. Any idea? Just a scaling in the series expansion?

Honestly I don’t really know. I would presume the same meaning as the natural versions but with degrees in place or radians.

Thoughts on what is next here? Is it still unclear?

I'm closing this because it's annoying to have this PR hanging around open.
