Thanks for the patch, I'll see about committing it later today.

Unfortunately, I have been lately running between work and fixing
bugs for 2.2.0rc1. Lacking the time to meaningfully contribute,
I usually refrain from responses :-) Sorry, I know it's frustrating.

Since we're preparing for the stable 2.2.0 and are in the deep
freeze at this point, should we make this a post-2.2.0 item?

Also, a few question on this:
1. How does one enter degrees?
   Do people have the degree sign on their keyboards?
2. If not, should we customize the UI to have separate
   fields for degrees, minutes, and seconds? In that case,
   each of those could be a decimal number, right?
3. Should we have a tool to batch-convert between different
   representation? And maybe a button to convert the single
   instance?
