Issue DM-2549: The string repr of Coord should show the coordsys and angles in degrees
The default string representation of Coord (e.g. std::cout << coord in C++ and str(coord) in Python) is to show class name and a pair of angles in radians. It would be much more useful if the default display showed the angles in degrees, as that is what people are used to. Also, it would be very helpful if the display included the name of the coordinate system. This is especially needed for the base class, as it is quite common to get shared_ptr to Coord and have no idea what coordinate system it is. At present there is a lot of code that unpacks the angles and explicitly displays them as degrees to get around this problem. But it seems silly to have to do that.
