  // <synopsis>
  // EarthMagneticEngine defines Engines (user defined functions) that can be
  // used in TaQL to convert EarthMagnetic values from one frame to another
  // or to calculate them from the IGRF model.
  // In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.
  //
  // In TaQL these functions can be called like:
  // <srcblock>
  //   meas.em   (toref, emvalues, epochs, positions)
  //   meas.igrf (toref, heights, directions, epochs, positions)
  //   meas.igrflos  (heights, directions, epochs, positions)
  //   meas.igrflong (heights, directions, epochs, positions)
  // </srcblock>
  // The first one converts the given EarthMagnetic values to the 'toref'
  // frame for all epoch and positions (their Cartesian product).
  // The second one calculates the IGRF model values in the 'toref' frame
  // for all heights, directions, epochs and positions.
  // The 3rd and 4th return the model value along the line-of-sight cq. as
  // longitude for all heights, directions, epochs and positions.
  // The first two function names can be followed by XYZ, ANGLES or LENGTH
  // to return the values according to the suffix.
  // <ul>
  //  <li> <src>toref</src> is a single constant string.
  //       If not given, it defaults to ITRF. Note that 'toref' can also be
  //       given for function IGRFLOS and IGRFLONG, but is neglected.
  //  <li> <src>emvalues</src> gives the EarthMagnetic values to be converted.
  //       They can be given in various forms.
  //   <ul>
  //    <li> An array of positions given as xyz or as lon-lat-flux
  //         Note that specifying as lon-lat-flux precludes use of units
  //         (angle and length units cannot be mixed in a TaQL value),
  //         while xyz must have a flux unit (e.g., nT). It means that the
  //         unit determines if xyz or lon-lat-flux is given.
  //         It can be given as a single list or a multi-dim array.
  //         It can be followed by a string defining the source
  //         reference type, which defaults to ITRF.
  //    <li> If a single constant position is used, it can be given as
  //         3 scalar values, optionally followed by the source
  //         reference type. The unit defines iff x,y,z or lon-lat-flux is
  //         given.
  //    <li> The name of a column in a table or a subset of it such as
  //         <src>EMVAL[0,]</src>. Often this is a TableMeasures column
  //         which is recognized as such, also its source reference frame.
  //         If such a column is used in a expression, it will not be
  //         recognized as a TableMeasures column and its reference frame
  //         should be given.
  //   </ul>
  //  <li> <src>heights</src> is one or more real values giving the heights
  //       above the earth at which the model has to be calculated.
  //       Default unit is m.
  //  <li> <src>directions</src> defines the directions in which the model
  //       has to be calculated. They can be given in all forms as described
  //       in class DirectionEngine.
  //  <li> <src>epochs</src> can be given as shown in class EpochEngine.
  //  <li> <src>positions</src> can be given as shown in class PositionEngine.
  // </ul>
  // All functions return data with type double and unit nT. Unit rad is
  // returned for functions with the ANGLES suffix.
  //
  // The result of a conversion is an array with shape [1|2|3,em,epoch,pos].
  // The model calculations result has shape [1|2|3,h,dir,epoch,pos]
  // The last 3 or 4 elements are the shapes of these arguments. They are
  // omitted if all of them have length 1.
  // </synopsis>

  // <example>
  // <srcblock>
  // // Get IGRF model value for today at the WSRT at 200 km height
  // // in the direction of the SUN.
  //   meas.igrf (200km, 'SUN', date(), 'WSRT')
  // // Similar, but the flux along the line of sight.
  //   meas.igrflos (200km, 'SUN', date(), 'WSRT')
  // // Convert an earthmagnetic value from ITRF to J2000 angles.
  //   meas.emang ('J2000', 677, 45441, 29517, date(), 'WSRT')
  // </srcblock>
  // </example>

  // <motivation>
  // It makes it possible to handle measures in TaQL.
