> {{org.apache.sis.measure.Angle}} was intentionally defined as *not* extending {{java.lang.Number}}. In a previous library this was causing confusion. But a few tests suggest that this is not causing confusion anymore with Apache SIS design. Considering {{Angle}} as a kind of {{Number}} may help to reduce the amount of {{instanceof}} checks in code that are only interested in the numerical value.
