+@code{astropy.coordinates} module, but with more of an emphasis on efficiency.
+Some functions are more than 100 times faster than the corresponding
+functionality in astropy.  On the other hand, the API is somewhat more
+restrictive than the API used by astropy, so the appropriate module to use
+will depend on your needs.")
