Equal Returns whether two rotation values are equal to each other.

Outputs
		Value		boolean	Returns true if the values are equal and false otherwise.
Inputs
quaternion		A			The first rotation value to compare.
quaternion		B			The second rotation value to compare.

Returns true if equal.

Lerp Returns a rotation value that is the interpolation between the From input and the To input by T.

Outputs
		Value		quaternion	Returns the interpolation value.
Inputs
quaternion		From			The first rotation input value.
quaternion		To			The second rotation input value.
float		T			The interpolation point.

Multiplication Returns the multiplication/composition of two rotation values.

Outputs
		Value		quaternion	The multiplication/composition of the two rotation values. This operation is not commutative (ab != ba)
Inputs
quaternion		A			The first rotation value to multiply/compose.
quaternion		B			The second rotation value to multiply/compose.

This operation is not commutative (ab != ba)

Not Equal Returns a boolean based on whether A is not equal to B.

Outputs
		Value		boolean	Returns true if the values are not equal and false otherwise.
Inputs
quaternion		A			The first rotation value to compare.
quaternion		B			The second rotation value to compare.
