Hi!

I'm using the library to calculate ratings for http://ratingupdate.info/, and was running into an issue with deviations increasing quite rapidly over time, despite the system constant being very low. After debugging a bit, I came to the conclusion that new glicko2 ratings had a volatility of 0.06 assigned was the problem.

In the original paper, the text is:

Set the player’s volatility to 0.06 (this value depends on the particular application).

This does mean that From<GlickoRating> on Glicko2Rating isn't really something that can be implemented, which has implications for the rest of the API.
