//! # Coordinate-type conversions for [`CoordinateWithPM`]
//!
//! ## Scientific scope
//!
//! Astrometric pipelines frequently need to express the same catalog position
//! in different reference frames or reference centers: e.g. transforming from
//! a heliocentric J2000 ecliptic catalog position to a geocentric equatorial
//! of-date position for comparison with an observation. This module provides
//! blanket [`From`] implementations so those transformations compose
//! transparently with the `CoordinateWithPM<T>` container, preserving the
//! epoch and proper-motion model across the conversion.
//!
//! ## Technical scope
//!
//! Two blanket impls are provided:
//!
//! - `From<&CoordinateWithPM<cartesian::Position<C1,F1,U>>>`
//!   `for CoordinateWithPM<cartesian::Position<C2,F2,U>>` — chains a frame
//!   transform and a center transform, both evaluated at the stored epoch.
//!
//! - `From<&CoordinateWithPM<spherical::Position<C1,F1,U>>>`
//!   `for CoordinateWithPM<spherical::Position<C2,F2,U>>` — converts to
//!   Cartesian, applies both transforms, then converts back to spherical.
//!
//! Both impls delegate to the [`Transform`](crate::coordinates::transform::Transform)
//! trait and are gated on the same bounds, so the compiler statically checks
//! that the requested center/frame combination has a valid transform path.
//!
//! ## References
//!
//! - IAU SOFA Library, function `iauPmpx` (proper-motion and parallax).

//!   Almanac*, §3.3. University Science Books.
