/// Time scales supported by the library.
///
/// This `#[non_exhaustive]` enum defines all time scales that [`Dt`] can represent.
/// Each [`Dt`] instance stores its internal time value on the scale indicated by
/// its `scale` field.
///
/// ## UTC and Leap Seconds
///
/// The library supports three UTC variants:
///
/// - **`UTC`** — Modern UTC using the library’s built-in IERS leap second table.
///   Basic functions for run-time loading of leap seconds tables also available.
///
/// - **`UtcSpice`** — SPICE-compatible model. Uses a fixed +9 s offset before
///   1972-01-01 and modern leap seconds afterward.
///
/// - **`UtcHist`** — Full historical SOFA model with piecewise linear frequency
///   offsets ("rubber seconds") from 1961–1972. This variant does **not support
///   round-tripping**.
///
/// ## Scale Categories
///
/// | Category                    | Scales                          | Purpose |
/// |-----------------------------|---------------------------------|---------|
/// | **Atomic / Proper**         | `TAI`, `TT`, `TDB` (alias `ET`) | Continuous atomic time. `TAI` is the primary internal scale. |
/// | **Relativistic Coordinate** | `TCG`, `TCB`, `TCL`             | Time scales defined in specific relativistic reference frames (GCRS, BCRS, LCRS). |
/// | **Civil / Coordinated**     | `UTC`, `UtcSpice`, `UtcHist`    | Real-world civil time, with support for leap seconds and historical behavior. |
/// | **GNSS / Navigation**       | `GPS`, `GST`, `BDT`, `QZSS`     | Time scales used by satellite navigation constellations. |
/// | **Lunar**                   | `LTC`, `TCL`                    | Lunar time scales based on the LTE440 model (Lu et al. 2025). |
/// | **Special**                 | `Custom`                        | User-defined or experimental scales. |
///
/// The reference epoch used for conversions between scales is **2000-01-01 12:00:00 TAI**.
///
/// ## Lunar Time Scales
///
/// Both `LTC` and `TCL` implement the **LTE440** model (Lu et al. 2025):
///
/// - **`LTC`** (Coordinated Lunar Time): Operational lunar time for cislunar operations.
///   Applies a secular rate of **+56.02 µs per Earth day** relative to TT, plus the
///   13 dominant periodic terms from the model.
///
/// - **`TCL`** (Lunar Coordinate Time): IAU-defined relativistic coordinate time
///   in the Lunar Celestial Reference System (LCRS). Includes the secular rate
///   versus TDB, the same periodic terms, and a constant bias calibrated to match
///   the published LTE440 reference value at J2000.0 TDB.
