9** Increment to be applied to Coordinated Universal Time UTC to give
10** Terrestrial Time TT (formerly Ephemeris Time ET).

12** (double precision)
13**
14** Given:
15** utc double UTC date as a modified JD (JD-2400000.5)
16**
17** Result: TT-UTC in seconds
18**
19** Notes:
20**
21** 1 The UTC is specified to be a date rather than a time to indicate
22** that care needs to be taken not to specify an instant which lies
23** within a leap second. Though in most cases UTC can include the
24** fractional part, correct behaviour on the day of a leap second
25** can only be guaranteed up to the end of the second 23:59:59.
26**
27** 2 Pre 1972 January 1 a fixed value of 10 + ET-TAI is returned.
28**
29** 3 See also the routine slaDt, which roughly estimates ET-UT for
30** historical epochs.
31**
32** Called: slaDat
