They aren't, though. In addition to newRPL's angle objects, there are also angle units.

Though it's true that angle objects should be handled properly by transcendental functions too, just as units are.

So we all agree: Unit objects need to be converted to their base units and simplified to see if they become non dimensional. This will also handle units of angles correctly since their base unit is the radian (angle objects already convert to radians automatically, that discussion is only a few pages up in this thread). If the units are NOT non-dimensional, then it shall throw an error of "Inconsistent units".
The result of the functions shall be a number, without any units.

Finally, regarding temperature units, newRPL already distinguishes temperature from change of temperature, and if everything works as intended, the conversion to absolute temperature is automatic during UBASE.
