// <synopsis>
// A MVuvw is a 3-vector of uvws in a rectangular frame with
// internal units of m.<br>
// It can be constructed with:
// <ul>
//   <li> MVuvw() creates point at origin (0,0,0)
//   <li> MVuvw(MVuvw) creates a copy
//   <li> MVuvw(MVPosition) creates (x,y,z) from the given position
//   <li> MVuvw(Double, Double, Double) creates (x,y,z) with
//      specified values (assuming meters)
//   <li> MVuvw(Quantity length,Double, Double) creates a MVuvw assuming
//      that the two values are (in radians) angle along 'equator'
//      and towards 'pole'.
//   <li> MVuvw(Quantity length, Quantity, Quantity) creates a MVuvw
//      assuming angles as in previous, or uvws
//   <li> <src>MVuvw(Quantity, Quantum<Vector<Double> >)</src> creates a
//      MVuvw from angle vector, using first two angles, and
//      assuming second as zero if not present.
//   <li> <src>MVuvw(Quantum<Vector<Double> ></src> creates from
//      angles or uvws, depending on the units in the
//      quantum vector. In the angle case,
//      the data derived can be scaled with the readjust() function. If
//      the unit of the quantum vector is length, uvw is
//      assumed.
//    <li> <src>MVuvw(Vector<Double></src> creates from angles (less than
//      or equal to two elements) or x,y,z (3 elements).
//    <li> <src>MVuvw(Vector<Quantity></src> creates from length+angles,
//      angles, or x,y,z, depending on units.
//    <li> <src>MVuvw(MVBaseline, MVDirection)</src> creates a uvw
//      in the specified reference direction (in same reference frame)
// </ul>
// A void adjust(Double) function normalises the vector to a length of 1;
// a get() returns as a
// Double 3-vector the length and angles of the uvw vector;
// a getAngle() returns a Quantum 2-vector, (uInt) returns the indicated
// element, and getValue returns the vector.<br>
// uvws can be added and subtracted.<br>
// The multiplication of two uvws produces the in-product.<br>
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// See <linkto class=Muvw>Muvw</linkto> class.

// <motivation>
// To do coordinate transformations

// <todo asof="1998/04/20">
//  <li> Implement for EW
//  <li> Get sign (especially of V) correct
//  <li> Let it handle Vectors of UVW
//  <li> Add some rotation matrix history for speed
