As I wrote in 18-156, many implementations have had degree trig
functions for decades, going back to the F77 days if not earlier. Many,
many programmers used them without "units". Given that they have their
own generic names (SIND, etc.), there's no issue. The purpose of this
proposal is to standardize existing practice, as used by a lot of
Fortran programmers.
WG5 has already decided to pass on Units. It would be best if you could
accept that and move on.
