Get the angular velocity of the Body.

The angular velocity is the ''rate of change of angle over time''.


It is changed in [[World:update]] by applying torques, off centre forces/impulses, and angular damping. It can be set directly with [[Body:setAngularVelocity]].


If you need the ''rate of change of position over time'', use [[Body:getLinearVelocity]].
