abstract: The Lorentz transformation in special relativity; also the gyrogroup structure
  of three-velocities. Performs active and passive transformations and has the ability
  to use units in which the speed of light is not unity. Includes some experimental
  functionality for celerity and rapidity. For general relativity, see the 'schwarzschild'
  package.
