65 // Spectra are converted to the specified reference frame and aligned at
66 // a specified instant in time.
67 //
68 // You should not try to convert from, say, a SpectralCoordinate::TOPO to
69 // MFrequency::TOPO as this would be meaningless. This class is designed
70 // mainly to convert say from a SpectralCoordinate::TOPO to say, a BARY
71 // frame and align.
