  /**
   * \brief .NET wrapper for GeographicLib::GeodesicExact.
   *
   * This class allows .NET applications to access GeographicLib::GeodesicExact.
   *
   * The equations for geodesics on an ellipsoid can be expressed in terms of
   * incomplete elliptic integrals.  The Geodesic class expands these integrals
   * in a series in the flattening \e f and this provides an accurate solution
   * for \e f &isin [-0.01, 0.01].  The GeodesicExact class computes the
   * ellitpic integrals directly and so provides a solution which is valid for
   * all \e f.  However, in practice, its use should be limited to about \e
   * b/\e a &isin; [0.01, 100] or \e f &isin; [-99, 0.99].
   *
   * For the WGS84 ellipsoid, these classes are 2--3 times \e slower than the
   * series solution and 2--3 times \e less \e accurate (because it's less easy
   * to control round-off errors with the elliptic integral formulation); i.e.,
   * the error is about 40 nm (40 nanometers) instead of 15 nm.  However the
   * error in the series solution scales as <i>f</i><sup>7</sup> while the
   * error in the elliptic integral solution depends weakly on \e f.  If the
   * quarter meridian distance is 10000 km and the ratio \e b/\e a = 1 &minus;
   * \e f is varied then the approximate maximum error (expressed as a
   * distance) is <pre>
   *       1 - f  error (nm)
   *       1/128     387
   *       1/64      345
   *       1/32      269

   *       128     19024
   * </pre>
   *
   * The computation of the area in these classes is via a 30th order series.
   * This gives accurate results for \e b/\e a &isin; [1/2, 2]; the accuracy is
   * about 8 decimal digits for \e b/\e a &isin; [1/4, 4].
   *
   * See \ref geodellip for the formulation.  See the documentation on the
   * Geodesic class for additional information on the geodesics problems.

   * <B>INTERFACE DIFFERENCES:</B><BR>
   * A default constructor is provided that assumes WGS84 parameters.
   *
   * The EquatorialRadius, Flattening, and EllipsoidArea functions are
   * implemented as properties.
   *
   * The GenDirect, GenInverse, and Line functions accept the
   * "capabilities mask" as a NETGeographicLib::Mask rather than an
   * unsigned.
