- CANNIBALISERS:
- The result of this function should always be positive, this
- means that after division modulo 360 but before `radians`,
- you will need to add 360 if the value is negative. This can
- only happen if `tm` is negative, which can only happen for date
- times before 2000-(01)Jan-01 12:00:00 UTC par division modulo
- implementations with the signess of at least the left operand.
- More precively, it happens between circa 1970-(01)Jan-11
- 16:09:02 UTC and circa 374702470660351740 seconds before
- January 1, 1970 00:00 UTC, which is so far back in time
- it cannot be reliable pinned down to the right year, but it
- is without a shadow of a doubt looooong before the Earth
- was formed, is right up there with the age of the Milky Way
- and the universe itself.
