Could you just post the file you made because a wiki diff is very unusable as it converts tabs to 4 spaces making troubles when applying the patch; if you just post the file someone can then generate the unified diff. Thanks.

Why would you need to do a polar->cartesian transformation in wikitext?

It's not needed in wikitext, but in geo location templates. Take Russia for an example: it's very long from east to west and very northern. So if you take the normal cartesian map, it looks strange, stretched. Almost every Wikipedia uses geo locating, so almost every Wikipedia could be needing it.

The functions abs, trunc, floor and log are maybe even more important. By now you have to do everything with cases and polynoms. I change would make #expr some more intuitive and I think it could relieve are parser from some parsings and recursions as well, as you would not need templates to do this anymore.
