Research direction

Start in Linear.V2 near the existing angle function and compare the proposed unAngle implementation with the module's conventions. Confirm the intended inverse-angle behavior and add the exported function so the requested V2 operation is available.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

feature request

I use this function a lot.

unAngle :: V2 Double -> Double
unAngle (V2 ax ay) =
  let alpha = asin $ ay / (ax * ax + ay * ay)
  in if ax < 0
       then pi - alpha
       else alpha

Shoud we add it to Linear.V2?
