Good suggestion. And even better would be to avoid the division as well.

constant RADIANS_DEGREES = 57.29577951308232158
constant DEGREES_RADIANS = 0.017453292519943296
global function radians_to_degrees (object r)
   return r * RADIANS_DEGREES
end function

global function degrees_to_radians (object d)
   return d * DEGREES_RADIANS
end function
