- print a := dm.observatory('atca')
[type=position, refer=ITRF, m2=[value=6372960.26, unit=m],
		 m1=[unit=rad, value=-0.52613792],
		  m0=[unit=rad, value=2.61014232]]
- dm.addxvalue(a)
[__*0=[value=-4750915.84, unit=m], __*1=[value=2792906.18, unit=m],
			   __*2=[value=-3200483.75, unit=m]] 
- dm.addxvalue(a)::
[id=quant, shape=3] 
- dm.addxvalue(dm.epoch('utc','today'))
[=] 
- dm.addxvalue(dm.epoch('utc','today'))::
[id=quant, shape=0]
