Description

I don't think the name QuatQuatRotation is appropriate, but I would like to add a new 4D rotation struct with two quaternions. (SO(4) is doubly covered by SU(2) × SU(2))

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing Rotation parameterizations and the Rotation{4} type, then read the linked references on SO(4) and its SU(2) × SU(2) representation. The issue's open questions include the type name and design; done would mean an agreed 4D rotation struct represented by two quaternions and integrated with Rotation{4}.
