11** Given:
12** al double longitude of point A (e.g. RA) in radians
13** ap double latitude of point A (e.g. Dec) in radians
14** bl double longitude of point B
15** bp double latitude of point B
16**
17** Returned (function value):
18** double position angle of B with respect to A
19**
20** Notes:
21**
22** 1) The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point
23** B with respect to point A. It is in the range -pi to +pi. The
24** sense is such that if B is a small distance "east" of point A,
25** the bearing is approximately +pi/2.
26**
27** 2) Zero is returned if the two points are coincident.

53**
54** The ERFA version is intended to retain identical functionality to
55** the SOFA library, but made distinct through different function and
56** file names, as set out in the SOFA license conditions. The SOFA
57** original has a role as a reference standard for the IAU and IERS,
58** and consequently redistribution is permitted only in its unaltered
59** state. The ERFA version is not subject to this restriction and
60** therefore can be included in distributions which do not support the
61** concept of "read only" software.
62**
63** Although the intent is to replicate the SOFA API (other than
64** replacement of prefix names) and results (with the exception of
65** bugs; any that are discovered will be fixed), SOFA is not
66** responsible for any errors found in this version of the library.
67**
68** If you wish to acknowledge the SOFA heritage, please acknowledge
69** that you are using a library derived from SOFA, rather than SOFA
70** itself.
