While I am in the mood to study changes/enhancements I remember the old
request for specifying standard meridians.
I previously pooh-poohed the idea as I felt is was a function of the
application program and not a library operation.
What is a question in my mind is what does the standard meridian correction
apply to? All longitude including option control longitude like lon_0, or
just selected elements that refer to some longitude parameter (lon_0 is the
only one I can think of). Does the correction apply to input/output
geographic data? If it is both I/O data and control data why
bother---consider the entire run as in the alternate standard meridian space.
Bottom line: if there is a correction for standard meridian, to what aspects
of longitude in the projection process does it apply?
