   * \brief Ordnance Survey grid system for Great Britain
   *
   * The class implements the coordinate system used by the Ordnance Survey for
   * maps of Great Britain and conversions to the grid reference system.
   *
   * See
   * - <a href="https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/documents/resources/guide-coordinate-systems-great-britain.pdf">
   *   A guide to coordinate systems in Great Britain</a>
   * - <a href="https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/documents/resources/guide-to-nationalgrid.pdf">
   *   Using the National Grid</a>
   *
   * \warning the latitudes and longitudes for the Ordnance Survey grid
   * system do not use the WGS84 datum.  Do not use the values returned by this
   * class in the UTMUPS, MGRS, or Geoid classes without first converting the
   * datum (and vice versa).
   *
   * Example of use:
   * \include example-OSGB.cpp
