Description
The README says vectors can be represented in spherical coordinates. It's true that you can get spherical coordinates out, but I don't think this is actually implemented for constructing vectors. That is, you can't pass a three-vector magnitude into a constructor.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the spherical-coordinate statement in README and inspect the existing vector construction entry points to determine how coordinate inputs are handled. Confirm the expected representation and constructor behavior from nearby implementation and tests. Done means vectors can be constructed from a three-value spherical-coordinate input as described, with coverage for that behavior.
