Extra care needed for np.sin(theta) where theta = +np.pi or -np.pi ? #14

Hello,

In the so3.log function

return self.vee((0.5 * angle / np.sin(angle)) * (self.mat - self.mat.T))

There's a division by np.sin(angle) but there isn't a check to see if angle is +np.pi or -np.pi. I understand that due to numerical precision, np.sin(np.pi) != 0.0 but I'm wondering if there needs to be some extra care taken here.
