/// A set of [Euler angles] representing a rotation in three-dimensional space.
///
/// This type is marked as `#[repr(C, packed)]`.
///
/// # Defining rotations using Euler angles
///
/// Note that while [Euler angles] are intuitive to define, they are prone to
/// [gimbal lock] and are challenging to interpolate between. Instead we
/// recommend that you convert them to a more robust representation, such as a
/// quaternion or or rotation matrix. To this end, `From<Euler<A>>` conversions
/// are provided for the following types:
///
/// - [`Basis3`](struct.Basis3.html)
/// - [`Matrix3`](struct.Matrix3.html)
/// - [`Matrix4`](struct.Matrix4.html)
/// - [`Quaternion`](struct.Quaternion.html)
///
/// For example, to define a quaternion that applies the following:
///
/// 1. a 45° rotation around the _x_ axis
/// 2. a 180° rotation around the _y_ axis
/// 3. a -30° rotation around the _z_ axis
///
/// you can use the following code:
///
/// ```
/// use cgmath::{Deg, Euler, Quaternion};
///
/// let rotation = Quaternion::from(Euler {
///     x: Deg::new(45.0),
///     y: Deg::new(180.0),
///     z: Deg::new(15.0),
/// });
/// ```
