Yes, I intend to. Note that these conversions are already available in
the standalone (non-dtype) implementation in imusim.maths.quaternions:

http://www.imusim.org/docs/api/imusim.maths.quaternions.Quaternion-class.html#setFromEuler
http://www.imusim.org/docs/api/imusim.maths.quaternions.Quaternion-class.html#toEuler
http://www.imusim.org/docs/api/imusim.maths.quaternions.Quaternion-class.html#setFromMatrix
http://www.imusim.org/docs/api/imusim.maths.quaternions.Quaternion-class.html#toMatrix

I should do a new release though - the Euler methods there only support
ZYX and ZXY order conversions, my development version supports any order.

I don't know what this means. Please enlighten me and I'll be happy to
try! I thought a 'right versor' was a unit quaternion representing an
angle of 90 degrees (as in 'right angle') - I don't see what a 'left'
one would be.
