Following documentation and some math calculations I have replicated shape of
sor as spline/function. For given height (value along y axis) it returns
radius. Like for other splines heights below first valid point return first
valid radius and above last valid point return last valid radius. Call below
macro with the same set of points as in sor object. NOTE: Macro/function not
validate points! If you want array validation just make sor{} before this
macro and parser will tell you if points are incorrect. I have used the same
symbols as in 6.5.1.12 chapter so reading/investigating source should be easy.
Of course 3.5 compatible. Any comments ?
