I notice that one of the things you completely throw away is the flexibility 
associated with using structures to define geographic and Cartesian 
coordinates.

Although, original proj and current libproj4 simply define LP as struct 
{double lam, phi} my usage of LP was expanded to include h.  By using 
stuctures, applications can adopt updates much more simply.  Similarly, XY 
simply goes to XYZ.  One can also associate ellipoid with the structure.

And for shame, you a C++ programmer an all should know better.

There is more to criticise but I don't think it is worth the effor.
