Description
Maybe I've missed it, but I don't think it's built into core.py. Can we have an option to switch the printed coordinate system info from hour angles to degrees. Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reading core.py, where the cursor WCS value and printed coordinate-system information are handled. Trace how right ascension and declination are formatted, then determine how an option could switch the display from hour angles to degrees. Done means the option produces degree-formatted RA/Dec values without changing the default behavior.
