Functions
int	iau2000a (double jd_tt_high, double jd_tt_low, double *restrict dpsi, double *restrict deps)
	Computes the IAU 2000A high-precision nutation series for the specified date, to 0.1 μas accuracy.
int	iau2000b (double jd_tt_high, double jd_tt_low, double *restrict dpsi, double *restrict deps)
	Computes the forced nutation of the non-rigid Earth based at reduced precision.
int	nu2000k (double jd_tt_high, double jd_tt_low, double *restrict dpsi, double *restrict deps)
	Computes the forced nutation of the non-rigid Earth: Model NU2000K.
int	nutation_angles (double t, enum novas_accuracy accuracy, double *restrict dpsi, double *restrict deps)
	Returns the IAU2000 / 2006 values for nutation in longitude and nutation in obliquity for a given TDB Julian date and the desired level of accuracy.

Detailed Description

SuperNOVAS implementations for the IAU2000 nutation series calculations, with varying trade-offs between computational cost and precision.

It provides support for both the IAU 2000A, a truncated version with ~1 mas precision in the current epoch, and a NOVAS-specific reduced precision series with intermediate accuracy.

Based on the NOVAS C Edition, Version 3.1:
