Description
Would you consider having an alternative Spherical coordinate conventions, in particular the one which (at least according to wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system#Conventions) is common practice in physics (i.e. x = [r sin(theta) cos(phi), r sin(\theta)sin(\phi), r cos(theta)]). This could live along the current convention like SphericalPhysics or PhysicsSpherical, or by adding a type parameter which indicates the convention Spherical{T,A, Convension}?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Spherical coordinate convention and its surrounding API. Compare it with the physics convention described in the issue, then determine whether a separate type or a convention parameter fits the project. Done means the alternative convention is supported without breaking the current one, with coverage for both conventions.
