/// Equation of the equinoxes, compatible with IAU 2000 resolutions and
/// IAU 2006/2000A precession-nutation.
///
/// Given:
/// * date1,date2 TT as a 2-part Julian Date (Note 1)
///
/// Returned (function value):
/// * equation of the equinoxes (Note 2)
///
/// # Notes:
///
/// 1) The TT date date1+date2 is a Julian Date, apportioned in any
/// convenient way between the two arguments. For example,
/// JD(TT)=2450123.7 could be expressed in any of these ways,
/// among others:
///
/// | date1 | date2 | |
/// |-------------|--------------|----------------------|
/// |2450123.7 | 0.0 | (JD method) |
/// |2451545.0 | -1421.3 | (J2000 method) |
/// |2400000.5 | 50123.2 | (MJD method) |
/// |2450123.5 | 0.2 | (date & time method) |
///
/// The JD method is the most natural and convenient to use in
/// cases where the loss of several decimal digits of resolution
/// is acceptable. The J2000 method is best matched to the way
/// the argument is handled internally and will deliver the
/// optimum resolution. The MJD method and the date & time methods
/// are both good compromises between resolution and convenience.
///
/// 2) The result, which is in radians, operates in the following sense:
///
/// Greenwich apparent ST = GMST + equation of the equinoxes
///
/// # Called:
/// * anpm normalize angle into range +/- pi
/// * gst06a Greenwich apparent sidereal time, IAU 2006/2000A
/// * gmst06 Greenwich mean sidereal time, IAU 2006
///
