<div>Hi everyone,</div>
<div> I'm trying to include support for a custom coordinate system (SCH – Spherical Cross-track Height) used in radar image processing. The coordinate transform from (SCH) to geodetic / geocentric coordinates is hard to accomplish easily using the current
mechanisms available in proj.4 . I would suggest extending the API to include fwd3d and inv3d functions. Presence of these functions can be checked for in pj_transform and in their absence one can seamlessly fall back on the exist fwd / inv functions. Introduction
of these new functions will not affect the widely used API and will help make a case for using PROJ.4 / GDAL in public domain radar imaging software. </div>

<div>I have a proof of concept working on a github fork : </div>
