This was a discussion point during the last meeting. I had to put down a default because otherwise the ASCII reader cannot assign a default unit to any files with angles, and will crash.
Currently, the default for unit for a ɸ column in a file is degrees, but there is a question about whether this should be radians instead. This question was discussed very briefly during the last refactoring hackathon catchup, but we need to have more discussion before we can be certain that this is the right value.
To be clear: this does not mean that no ASCII files can be loaded in with radians; it just means that the user would have to manually override the default if they had a file with angles in radians.
