1/// Fundamental argument, IERS Conventions (2003):
2/// general accumulated precession in longitude.
3///
4/// Status:  canonical model.
5///
6/// Given:
7///    t     f64    TDB, Julian centuries since J2000.0 (Note 1)
8///
9/// Returned (function value):
10///          f64    general precession in longitude, radians (Note 2)
11///
12/// Notes:
13///
14/// 1) Though t is strictly TDB, it is usually more convenient to use
15///    TT, which makes no significant difference.
16///
17/// 2) The expression used is as adopted in IERS Conventions (2003).  It
18///    is taken from Kinoshita & Souchay (1990) and comes originally
19///    from Lieske et al. (1977).
