Folks,

To state the obvious, computers are pretty fast now, so for many purposes
a TM variant that is quite a bit slower would be acceptable.

I would like to see a TM version that is very reversable well outside the
typical six degree swath around the central meridian.

Mostly I wish I could have a highly reversable TM variant that was exactly
the same as the existing TM approximation in at least one direction.  It is
the failure to reverse that is a nightmare for me.

Best regards,
