It remains the case that the parser does not support ``` {L, U, P} = lup(M) ``` but that it might be nice if it did.

Oh, and I did not realize that #1542 was a proposed implementation of this for the Array/Matrix case (that seems to have run aground on some of the fine details...

Seems as though the exact desired API is not quite settled here yet, although it appears that at least allowing `filter` to take a collection of booleans as its second...

TL;DR: The reason there is no "degree mode" in mathjs is that it is a very large amount of work, and it's not clear how to get everything consistent (or...
