**  Angular separation between two sets of spherical coordinates.

**  Given:
**     al     double       first longitude (radians)

**
**  Returned (function value):
**            double       angular separation (radians)
**
**  Called:
**     eraS2c       spherical coordinates to unit vector
**     eraSepp      angular separation between two p-vectors

**  
**  The ERFA version is intended to retain identical functionality to

**  file names, as set out in the SOFA license conditions.  The SOFA
**  original has a role as a reference standard for the IAU and IERS,

**  state.  The ERFA version is not subject to this restriction and
**  therefore can be included in distributions which do not support the
**  concept of "read only" software.
**  
**  Although the intent is to replicate the SOFA API (other than
**  replacement of prefix names) and results (with the exception of
**  bugs;  any that are discovered will be fixed), SOFA is not
**  responsible for any errors found in this version of the library.
**  
**  If you wish to acknowledge the SOFA heritage, please acknowledge
