/* given the true geocentric ra and dec of an object, the observer's latitude,
 *   lt, and a horizon displacement correction, dis, all in radians, find the
 *   local sidereal times and azimuths of rising and setting, lstr/s
 *   and azr/s, also all in radians, respectively.
 * dis is the vertical displacement from the true position of the horizon. it
 *   is positive if the apparent position is higher than the true position.
 *   said another way, it is positive if the shift causes the object to spend
 *   longer above the horizon. for example, atmospheric refraction is typically
 *   assumed to produce a vertical shift of 34 arc minutes at the horizon; dis
 *   would then take on the value +9.89e-3 (radians). On the other hand, if
 *   your horizon has hills such that your apparent horizon is, say, 1 degree
 *   above sea level, you would allow for this by setting dis to -1.75e-2
 *   (radians).

 *
 * status: 0=normal; 1=never rises; -1=circumpolar.
 * In case of non-zero status, all other returned variables are undefined.
