## API documentation
We list the user-facing functions that compute the Wigner symbols. The functions are
behind the namespace `WignerSymbols`.
behind the namespace `WignerSymbols`. Both the C++ implementation (my own) and the
original Fortran implementation (by Schulten and Gordon) are provided by this package.
In my own tests, I had found that the original Fortran implementation provided only
`single` precision. This might be compiler-dependent, so you might have better luck.
The Fortran version is also somewhat faster (10% faster, approximately). In any case,
this program provides either a complete C++ replacement, or a C++ interface to the
evaluation of Wigner symbols.
