Feature description
Fast-spinning planets become slightly oblate, because they experience an outward centripetal force which offsets the inward force of gravity. This would also impact their atmospheres, causing larger radii.
Preferred solution
I believe that this can be accounted for as an additional term in the hydrostatic integration routine. It would require an additional input parameter representing the planet's rotation rate.
The amount of force would also depend on latitude. Given this, it makes sense to incorporate these spin effects while also handling issue #26 .
