///  Form the celestial-to-intermediate matrix for a given date using the
///  IAU 2000B precession-nutation model.
///
///  Given:
///     date1,date2 double       TT as a 2-part Julian Date (Note 1)
///
///  Returned (function value):
///                 [[f64; 3]; 3] celestial-to-intermediate matrix (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 matrix rc2i is the first stage in the transformation from
///     celestial to terrestrial coordinates:
///
///        [TRS]  =  RPOM * R_3(ERA) * rc2i * [CRS]
///
///               =  rc2t * [CRS]
///
///     where [CRS] is a vector in the Geocentric Celestial Reference
///     System and [TRS] is a vector in the International Terrestrial
///     Reference System (see IERS Conventions 2003), ERA is the Earth
///     Rotation Angle and RPOM is the polar motion matrix.
///
///  3) The present function is faster, but slightly less accurate (about
///     1 mas), than the iauC2i00a function.
///
///  Called:
///     iauPnm00b    classical NPB matrix, IAU 2000B
///     iauC2ibpn    celestial-to-intermediate matrix, given NPB matrix
///
