° as unit like in Mathcad

See original GitHub issue

So, using unit ° in Mathcad is more simple clear that #rad/#deg switching. I suggest to introduce ° unit (the lone symbol is not occupied, am I right?) without #rad/#deg behaviour chaning:

α=90°
α
α|°

Shows:

α=90°
α=1.5708
α=90°

The main point is that unitless and ° must be compatible. When #rad using the value of sin(90°) is 1 - it’s clear. What happened when #deg enabled and sin(90°) using? - It’s a problem, but let it shows 0.2741 - backward compatibility is more expensive. Another problem is default mode #deg - may be it’s need to show “⚠RECOMMENDED TO USE #rad MODE WITH °” if ° exists in code and #rad missing.

OK. That is easy to do. I will include it in the next version.
