// <synopsis>
// DirectionUDF defines UDFs (user defined functions) that can be used in TaQL
// to convert Measures for directions.
// Special functions exist to convert to hourangle and azimuth/elevation.
// In this way such derived values appear to be ordinary TaQL functions.
//
// A function is called like:
// <srcblock>
//   meas.dir (toref, dir, time, pos)
//   meas.dir (toref, dir, time, pos)
// For example,
//   meas.dir ('B1950', [2rad,1rad])
//   meas.dir ('B1950', [[2rad,1rad], 'J2000'])
//   meas.dir ('APP', 'MOON', TIME, [[5d12m, 52deg, 11m], 'WGS84'])
//   meas.dir ('APP', 'MOON', TIME, POSITION)
// Or
//   meas.dir (toref, fromref, dir, pos, time)
// </srcblock>
// <ul>
//  <li>
//  <src>toref</src> is a single constant string.
//  <li>
// <src>dir</src> can have various value types. A single numeric array is
// a series of RA,DEC in J2000. If given as a set, the last argument of the
// set can be the reference types of the values in the set. The values can
// be strings (indicating planetary objects) or value pairs giving lon,lat.
// The default reference type is J2000. 
// </ul>
// All functions have data type double and unit radian.
// </synopsis>

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