+ Bearing (position angle) of one point on a sphere relative to another
+ (double precision)
+
+ Given:
+ A1,B1 d spherical coordinates of one point
+ A2,B2 d spherical coordinates of the other point
+
+ (The spherical coordinates are RA,Dec, Long,Lat etc, in radians.)
+
+ The result is the bearing (position angle), in radians, of point
+ A2,B2 as seen from point A1,B1. It is in the range +/- pi. If
+ A2,B2 is due east of A1,B1 the bearing is +pi/2. Zero is returned
+ if the two points are coincident.
