fixed azimuth plate extent bug when theta_offset != 0
About to debug
phi offset bug in phi_from_aie and theta_from_pie identified

commencing patching in 3, 2, 1, ... now!
bug fixed
tests of phi_from_aie and theta_from_pie works
more tests working
About to chance paramSpaceindex_equiDist_surface
regression!
about to make the test of SurfaceIndex.xyz_from_ie non trivial

this is done by:

a. having the SurfaceIndex instance be built upon a ParamSpaceIndex
   that is equiDist with the surface (i.e. not the parameter space)
b. having the surface be built upon a SuperQuadric that is *not* a
   sphere
bug discovered: surface is not spherical along polar
Merge branch 'pre_regression'

The current configuration has equiDist surface!
