Probably stems for avoiding floats around the code, which is a good
idea... we sometime went thru horrible linear algebra things to avoid
trigonometric code and the resulting rounding issues.

If you really want to fix it I'd suggest to make a derivative entry box
that handles it and returns the value in decidegrees. Look how the
current 'mils/inch/mm' entry box does it to centralize the
conversion/check.
