// when working with KML or, more generally, geometry on a Great Circle.

// Many of the formulae here were cribbed from the excellent Aviation

// NOTE: with the exception of the functions explicitly for converting between
// units, all functions here accept and return coordinates and angles in
// decimal degrees, and distances in meters.
