/// ```
/// Notes:
///
/// 1) "Observed" Az,ZD means the position that would be seen by a
/// perfect geodetically aligned theodolite. (Zenith distance is
/// used rather than altitude in order to reflect the fact that no
/// allowance is made for depression of the horizon.) This is
/// related to the observed HA,Dec via the standard rotation, using
/// the geodetic latitude (corrected for polar motion), while the
/// observed HA and (CIO-based) RA are related simply through the
/// Earth rotation angle and the site longitude. "Observed" RA,Dec
/// or HA,Dec thus means the position that would be seen by a
/// perfect equatorial with its polar axis aligned to the Earth's
/// axis of rotation.
///
/// 2) Only the first character of the type argument is significant.
/// "R" or "r" indicates that ob1 and ob2 are the observed right
/// ascension (CIO-based) and declination; "H" or "h" indicates
/// that they are hour angle (west +ve) and declination; anything
/// else ("A" or "a" is recommended) indicates that ob1 and ob2 are
/// azimuth (north zero, east 90 deg) and zenith distance.
///
/// 3) utc1+utc2 is quasi Julian Date (see Note 2), apportioned in any
/// convenient way between the two arguments, for example where utc1
/// is the Julian Day Number and utc2 is the fraction of a day.
///
/// However, JD cannot unambiguously represent UTC during a leap
/// second unless special measures are taken. The convention in the
/// present function is that the JD day represents UTC days whether
/// the length is 86399, 86400 or 86401 SI seconds.
///
/// Applications should use the function iauDtf2d to convert from
/// calendar date and time of day into 2-part quasi Julian Date, as
/// it implements the leap-second-ambiguity convention just
/// described.
///
/// 4) The warning status "dubious year" flags UTCs that predate the
/// introduction of the time scale or that are too far in the
/// future to be trusted. See iauDat for further details.
///
/// 5) UT1-UTC is tabulated in IERS bulletins. It increases by exactly
/// one second at the end of each positive UTC leap second,
/// introduced in order to keep UT1-UTC within +/- 0.9s. n.b. This
/// practice is under review, and in the future UT1-UTC may grow
/// essentially without limit.
///
/// 6) The geographical coordinates are with respect to the WGS84
/// reference ellipsoid. TAKE CARE WITH THE LONGITUDE SIGN: the
/// longitude required by the present function is east-positive
/// (i.e. right-handed), in accordance with geographical convention.
///
/// 7) The polar motion xp,yp can be obtained from IERS bulletins. The
/// values are the coordinates (in radians) of the Celestial
/// Intermediate Pole with respect to the International Terrestrial
/// Reference System (see IERS Conventions 2003), measured along the
/// meridians 0 and 90 deg west respectively. For many
/// applications, xp and yp can be set to zero.
///
/// 8) If hm, the height above the ellipsoid of the observing station
/// in meters, is not known but phpa, the pressure in hPa (=mB), is
/// available, an adequate estimate of hm can be obtained from the
/// expression
///
/// hm = -29.3 * tsl * log ( phpa / 1013.25 );
///
/// where tsl is the approximate sea-level air temperature in K
/// (See Astrophysical Quantities, C.W.Allen, 3rd edition, section
/// 52). Similarly, if the pressure phpa is not known, it can be
/// estimated from the height of the observing station, hm, as
/// follows:
///
/// phpa = 1013.25 * exp ( -hm / ( 29.3 * tsl ) );
///
/// Note, however, that the refraction is nearly proportional to
/// the pressure and that an accurate phpa value is important for
/// precise work.
///
/// 9) The argument wl specifies the observing wavelength in
/// micrometers. The transition from optical to radio is assumed to
/// occur at 100 micrometers (about 3000 GHz).
///
/// 10) The accuracy of the result is limited by the corrections for
/// refraction, which use a simple A*tan(z) + B*tan^3(z) model.
/// Providing the meteorological parameters are known accurately and
/// there are no gross local effects, the predicted astrometric
/// coordinates should be within 0.05 arcsec (optical) or 1 arcsec
/// (radio) for a zenith distance of less than 70 degrees, better
/// than 30 arcsec (optical or radio) at 85 degrees and better
/// than 20 arcmin (optical) or 30 arcmin (radio) at the horizon.
///
/// Without refraction, the complementary functions iauAtco13 and
/// iauAtoc13 are self-consistent to better than 1 microarcsecond
/// all over the celestial sphere. With refraction included,
/// consistency falls off at high zenith distances, but is still
/// better than 0.05 arcsec at 85 degrees.
///
/// 11) It is advisable to take great care with units, as even unlikely
/// values of the input parameters are accepted and processed in
/// accordance with the models used.
