   * \brief Polar stereographic projection
   *
   * Implementation taken from the report,
   * - J. P. Snyder,
   *   <a href="http://pubs.er.usgs.gov/usgspubs/pp/pp1395"> Map Projections: A
   *   Working Manual</a>, USGS Professional Paper 1395 (1987),
   *   pp. 160--163.
   *
   * This is a straightforward implementation of the equations in Snyder except
   * that Newton's method is used to invert the projection.
   *
   * This class also returns the meridian convergence \e gamma and scale \e k.
   * The meridian convergence is the bearing of grid north (the \e y axis)
   * measured clockwise from true north.
   *
   * Example of use:
   * \include example-PolarStereographic.cpp
