> The current {{PlaneAngle}} class introduces unnecessary round-off errors during use since it internally converts all values to turns. For example, it is currently impossible to represent the radians value {{Double.MIN_NORMAL}} exactly since the internal multiplication introduces errors: {{PlaneAngle.ofRadians(Double.MIN_NORMAL).toRadians()}} does not equal {{Double.MIN_NORMAL}}. We should restructure this API so that values are stored exactly and multiplication is only performed when required.
> This issue was discovered during work on GEOMETRY-124. Use of the new {{Reduce}} class added two more floating point operations to angle normalization and caused a regression in commons-geometry-spherical.
