int pj_ellipsoid(PJ *P) {
    /****************************************************************************************
        This is a replacement for the classic PROJ pj_ell_set function. The main
    difference is that pj_ellipsoid augments the PJ object with a copy of the
    exact tags used to define its related ellipsoid.

        This makes it possible to let a new PJ object inherit the geometrical
    properties of an existing one.

        A complete ellipsoid definition comprises a size (primary) and a shape
    (secondary) parameter.

        Size parameters supported are:
            R, defining the radius of a spherical planet
            a, defining the semimajor axis of an ellipsoidal planet

        Shape parameters supported are:
            rf, the reverse flattening of the ellipsoid
            f,  the flattening of the ellipsoid
            es, the eccentricity squared
            e,  the eccentricity
            b,  the semiminor axis

        The ellps=xxx parameter provides both size and shape for a number of
    built in ellipsoid definitions.

        The ellipsoid definition may be augmented with a spherification flag,
    turning the ellipsoid into a sphere with features defined by the ellipsoid.

        Spherification parameters supported are:
            R_A, which gives a sphere with the same surface area as the
            ellipsoid R_V, which gives a sphere with the same volume as the
    ellipsoid

            R_a, which gives a sphere with R = (a + b)/2   (arithmetic mean)
            R_g, which gives a sphere with R = sqrt(a*b)   (geometric mean)
            R_h, which gives a sphere with R = 2*a*b/(a+b) (harmonic mean)

            R_lat_a=phi, which gives a sphere with R being the arithmetic mean
            of of the corresponding ellipsoid at latitude phi.
            R_lat_g=phi, which gives
            a sphere with R being the geometric mean of of the corresponding
    ellipsoid at latitude phi.

            R_C, which gives a sphere with the radius of the conformal sphere
            at phi0.

        If R is given as size parameter, any shape and spherification parameters
        given are ignored.

        If size and shape are given as ellps=xxx, later shape and size
    parameters are are taken into account as modifiers for the built in
    ellipsoid definition.

        While this may seem strange, it is in accordance with historical PROJ
        behavior. It can e.g. be used to define coordinates on the ellipsoid
        scaled to unit semimajor axis by specifying "+ellps=xxx +a=1"

    transformation.

        So by providing them up front, we can amortize the (already modest) cost
    over all transformations carried out over the entire lifetime of a PJ
    object, rather than incur that cost for every single transformation.

        Most of the parameter calculations here are based on the "angular
    eccentricity", i.e. the angle, measured from the semiminor axis, of a line
    going from the north pole to one of the foci of the ellipsoid - or in other
    words: The arc sine of the eccentricity.

        The formulae used are mostly taken from:
