   * \brief An accurate representation of angles.
   *
   * This class is an implementation of the methods described in
   * - C. F. F. Karney,
   *   <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/00396265.2023.2217604">

   *
   * An angle is represented be the \e y and \e x coordinates of a point in the
   * 2d plane.  The two coordinates are proportional to the sine and cosine of
   * the angle.  This allows angles close to the cardinal points to be
   * represented accurately.  It also saves on unnecessary recomputations of
   * trigonometric functions of the angle.  Only angles in [&minus;180&deg;,
   * 180&deg;] can be represented.  (A possible extension would be to keep
   * count of the number of turns.)
   *
   * Example of use:
   * \include example-AuxAngle.cpp
