   * \brief Conversions for the World Geographic Reference System (georef)
   *
   * The World Geographic Reference System is described in
   * - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georef
   * - https://web.archive.org/web/20161214054445/http://earth-info.nga.mil/GandG/coordsys/grids/georef.pdf
   * .
   * It provides a compact string representation of a geographic area
   * (expressed as latitude and longitude).  The classes GARS and Geohash
   * implement similar compact representations.
   *
   * Example of use:
   * \include example-Georef.cpp
