.SH DESCRIPTION
These functions project a point in the plane onto the surface of a
Riemann Sphere, the one-point compactification of the complex plane.
Each finite point
.I z
projects to
.I z
itself.
Every complex infinite value is projected to a single infinite value,
namely to positive infinity on the real axis.

In glibc 2.11 and earlier, the implementation does something different
(a
.I stereographic
projection onto a Riemann Sphere).
