Don't let me hold you back, but I don't really see where you're going.
It seems like a big step backward to expose forward and inverse. I
think you're missing the universality of cs2cs, which provides a
single, bi-directional API for conversion between arbitrary coordinate
systems. I feel like I'm beating a dead horse.

I haven't been getting any pleasure out of this project so I don't
think be working on it.
