// NOTE:
// The coordinates of crossing IP may be calculated with small precision in some cases.
// For double, near the equator noticed error ~1e-9 so far greater than
// machine epsilon which is ~1e-16. This error is ~0.04m.
// E.g. consider two cases, one near the origin and the second one rotated by 90 deg around Z or SN axis.
// After the conversion from spherical degrees to cartesian 3d the following coordinates
// are calculated:
// for sph (-1 -1,  1 1) deg cart3d ys are -0.017449748351250485 and  0.017449748351250485
// for sph (89 -1, 91 1) deg cart3d xs are  0.017449748351250571 and -0.017449748351250450
// During the conversion degrees must first be converted to radians and then radians
// are passed into trigonometric functions. The error may have several causes:
// 1. Radians cannot represent exactly the same angles as degrees.
// 2. Different longitudes are passed into sin() for x, corresponding to cos() for y,
//    and for different angle the error of the result may be different.
// 3. These non-corresponding cartesian coordinates are used in calculation,
//    e.g. multiplied several times in cross and dot products.
// If it was a problem this strategy could e.g. "normalize" longitudes before the conversion using the source units
// by rotating the globe around Z axis, so moving longitudes always the same way towards the origin,
// assuming this could help which is not clear.
// For now, intersection points near the endpoints are checked explicitly if needed (if the IP is near the endpoint)
// to generate precise result for them. Only the crossing (i) case may suffer from lower precision.
