I propose a new unit of angular measurement, the bigree (as compared to "degree").
The conversion ratio is 1 bigree = pi/128 radians. Thus, 2pi radians is 256 bigrees.

Personally, I just refer to the unit circle of radians as Tau (τ), and then treat angular values as Q0.8 fixed point ratios of τ.
It's the same math, just expressed in pre-existing ideas. Could still refer τ/256 as a "bigree".
