Description: =====================================================================================
        pymil - Open-source Carte internationale du Monde au Millionième nomenclature encoder
        =====================================================================================
        
        Pymil is a simple Carte internationale du Monde au Millionième nomenclature coder. You
        might find it useful for searching maps for a specific coordinate pair.
        
        
        usage: pymil.py [-h] [--geojson] [--scale SCALE] latitude longitude
        
        calculates CIM code for given coordinate pair.
        
        positional arguments:
          latitude
          longitude
        
        optional arguments:
          -h, --help     show this help message and exit
          --geojson      prints geoJSON of the map area instead of the code.
          --scale SCALE  scale to be encoded, defaults to 1:25.000.
        
        
        CIM
        ===
        
        The CIM uses the geographic coordinate system as background for the Earth separation,
        each individual chart receives a code that is composed by two letters and a number.
        The two letters represent respectively the hemisphere (north or south) and a interval
        of 4° in Earth's latitude, which follow the alphabetical order starting from the Equator
        and increasing to the poles. The number represents a interval of 6° in longitude,
        marked with numbers and starting in the 180° meridian.
        
        The letters that follow this are subdivisions of the basic millionth chart and
        indicates charts in scales 1 to 500,000, 250,000, 100,000, 50,000 and 25,000.
        The letter/number used in each part of the code deppends on the relative position
        of the chart to its smaller scale counterpar.
            
        TODO
        ====
        
        * Make better docs.
        
        __geo_interface__
        =================
        
        The class CIM includes a __geo_interface__, as defined in https://gist.github.com/sgillies/2217756
        
        Thanks
