      /** This class eases computing PC combination for GNSS data structures.
       *
       * This class is meant to be used with the GNSS data structures objects
       * found in "DataStructures" class.
       *
       * A typical way to use this class follows:
       *
       * @code
       *   RinexObsStream rin("ebre0300.02o");
       *
       *   gnssRinex gRin;
       *   ComputePC getPC;
       *
       *   while(rin >> gRin)
       *   {
       *      gRin >> getPC;
       *   }
       * @endcode
       *
       * The "ComputePC" object will visit every satellite in the GNSS data
       * structure that is "gRin" and will try to compute its PC combination.
       *
       * When used with the ">>" operator, this class returns the same incoming
       * data structure with the PC inserted along their corresponding
       * satellites. Be warned that if a given satellite does not have the
       * observations required, it will be summarily deleted from the data
       * structure.
       *
       * Sometimes, the Rinex observations file does not have P1, but provides
       * C1 instead. In such cases, you must use the useC1() method.
       *
       * All observations are in meters.
       *
       * @sa ComputeLinear.hpp and LinearCombinations.hpp for a different
       * approach to the same task.
       *
       * @warning When using C1 instead of P1 to compute this combination, be
       * aware that instrumental errors will NOT cancel, introducing a bias that
       * must be taken into account by other means.
       *
