Yeah at least at first (for GSoC or first implementation) this makes sense
to me. In viz I ran into needing quaternions specifically. In neuroscience
I've needed that and also e.g. computing the angle between two rotation
matrices (or quaternions), among other things.

Yes that sounds reasonable to me.

If anyone thinks this isn't within the scope of SciPy, speak now or forever
hold your peace :)

Cheers,
Eric
