/// Transformation from ICRS equatorial coordinates to ecliptic
/// coordinates (mean equinox and ecliptic of date) using IAU 2006
/// precession model.
///
/// Status: support function.
///
/// Given:
/// date1,date2 f64 TT as a 2-part Julian date (Note 1)
/// dr,dd f64 ICRS right ascension and declination (radians)
///
/// Returned:
/// dl,db f64 ecliptic longitude and latitude (radians)
///
/// 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) No assumptions are made about whether the coordinates represent
/// starlight and embody astrometric effects such as parallax or
/// aberration.
///
/// 3) The transformation is approximately that from mean J2000.0 right
/// ascension and declination to ecliptic longitude and latitude
/// (mean equinox and ecliptic of date), with only frame bias (always
/// less than 25 mas) to disturb this classical picture.
