Class
    Foam::coordinateRotation

Description
    A coordinate rotation specified per local axes and the base class for
    other rotation specifications

    The rotation is defined by a combination of local vectors (e1/e2), (e2/e3)
    or (e3/e1). Any nonorthogonality will be absorbed into the second vector.

    For convenience, the dictionary constructor forms allow a few shortcuts:
    - if the @c type is not otherwise specified, the type @c axes
      is implicit
    - if an axes specification (eg, e3/e1) is used, the coordinateRotation
      sub-dictionary can be dropped.

    Specifying the rotation by an EulerCoordinateRotation
    (type "EulerRotation") or by a STARCDCoordinateRotation
    (type "STARCDRotation") requires the coordinateRotation sub-dictionary.

    @verbatim
        coordinateRotation
        {
            type        STARCDRotation
            rotation    (0 0 90);
        }
    @endverbatim

    - the rotation angles are in degrees, unless otherwise explictly specified:

    @verbatim
        coordinateRotation
        {
            type        STARCDRotation
            degrees     false;
            rotation    (0 0 3.141592654);
        }
    @endverbatim

Deprecated
    Specifying the local vectors as an @c axis (corresponding to e3) and a
    @c direction (corresponding to e1), is allowed for backwards
    compatibility, but this terminology is generally a bit confusing.
