+.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.
