How to applyQuaternion to a cartesian3 in Cesium

CesiumJS
1

1. A concise explanation of the problem you're experiencing.

ThreeJS has an applyQuaternion on a vector to achieve a rotation of the vector. So a circle can be created for example by rotating the unit vector around an axis with vector.applyQuaternion()

Is there an way to do this in Cesium with Cartesian3 and Quaternion?

2. A minimal code example. If you've found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.

In threeJS:
step is a quaternion defined like this:
step.setFromAxisAngle(new Three.Vector3(0, 1, 0),
    Three.Math.degToRad(360 / tesselation));

for the number of steps around the circle:
  vector.applyQuaternion(step);

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

I want to collect the vertices of a circle for example.
I'd like to use quaternions if possible for flexibility.

4. The Cesium version you're using, your operating system and browser.

Looking through the source, it looks like the common approach to doing this is to first create a Matrix3 out of the quaternion, then multiply that matrix by the vector:
