 * @brief Routines to construct waveforms from spherical harmonic mode
 * decompositions.
 * @details
 * The gravitational wave polarizations depend on the location of the
 * observer relative to the source frame, defined by the spherical-polar
 * coordinates @p theta and @p phi (equivalently, inclination and azimuthal
 * phase).  Waveforms are sometimes decomposed into spin -2 weighted
 * spherical harmonics, indexed with mode quantum numbers @p l and @p m,
 * with the resulting waveform modes stored as COMPLEX16TimeSeries.
 * These routines reconstruct a waveform from these mode decompositions
 * for a given inclination and azimuthal phase.
