+New Functions +

+In a package like SLALIB it is difficult to know how far to go. Is it +enough to provide the primitive operations, or should more +complicated functions be packaged? Is it worth encroaching on +specialist areas, where individual experts have all written their +own software already? To what extent should CPU efficiency be +an issue? How much support of different numerical precisions is +required? And so on. +

+In practice, almost all the routines in SLALIB are there because they were +needed for some specific application, and this is likely to remain the +pattern for any enhancements in the future. +Suggestions for additional SLALIB routines should be addressed to the +author. +
