/**
 * A parameterized mathematical operation that converts coordinates to another CRS without any change of
 * {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.datum.AbstractDatum datum}.
 * The best-known example of a coordinate conversion is a map projection.
 * The parameters describing coordinate conversions are defined rather than empirically derived.
 *
 * <p>This coordinate operation contains an {@linkplain DefaultOperationMethod operation method}, usually
 * with associated {@linkplain org.apache.sis.parameter.DefaultParameterValueGroup parameter values}.
 * In the SIS implementation, the parameter values can be either inferred from the
 * {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.operation.transform.AbstractMathTransform math transform}
 * or explicitly provided at construction time in a <cite>defining conversion</cite> (see below).</p>
 *
 * <h2>Defining conversions</h2>
 * {@code OperationMethod} instances are generally created for a pair of existing {@linkplain #getSourceCRS() source}
 * and {@linkplain #getTargetCRS() target CRS}. But {@code Conversion} instances without those information may exist
 * temporarily while creating a {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.crs.DefaultDerivedCRS derived} or
 * {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.crs.DefaultProjectedCRS projected CRS}.
 * Those <cite>defining conversions</cite> have no source and target CRS since those elements are provided by the
 * derived or projected CRS themselves. This class provides a {@linkplain #DefaultConversion(Map, OperationMethod,
 * MathTransform, ParameterValueGroup) constructor} for such defining conversions.
 *
 * <p>After the source and target CRS become known, we can invoke the {@link #specialize specialize(…)} method for
 * {@linkplain DefaultMathTransformFactory#createParameterizedTransform creating a math transform from the parameters},
 * instantiate a new {@code Conversion} of a more specific type
 * ({@link org.opengis.referencing.operation.ConicProjection},
 *  {@link org.opengis.referencing.operation.CylindricalProjection} or
 *  {@link org.opengis.referencing.operation.PlanarProjection}) if possible,
 * and assign the source and target CRS to it.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Immutability and thread safety</h2>
 * This class is immutable and thus thread-safe if the property <em>values</em> (not necessarily the map itself)
 * given to the constructor are also immutable. This means that unless otherwise noted in the javadoc,
 * {@code Conversion} instances created using only SIS factories and static constants can be shared
 * by many objects and passed between threads without synchronization.

     * <h4>Relationship between datum</h4>
     * By definition, coordinate <b>conversions</b> do not change the datum. Consequently, the given {@code sourceCRS}
     * and {@code targetCRS} should use the same datum. If the datum is not the same, then the coordinate operation
     * should probably be a {@linkplain DefaultTransformation transformation} instead.
     * However, Apache SIS does not enforce that condition, but we encourage users to follow it.
     * The reason why SIS is tolerant is because some gray areas may exist about whether an operation
     * should be considered as a conversion or a transformation.
     *
     * <p>Note that while Apache SIS accepts to construct {@code DefaultConversion} instances
     * with different source and target datum, it does not accept to use such instances for
     * {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.crs.DefaultDerivedCRS derived CRS} construction.</p>
     *
     * <h4>Example</h4>
     * Converting time instants from a {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.crs.DefaultTemporalCRS temporal CRS} using
     * the <cite>January 1st, 1950</cite> epoch to another temporal CRS using the <cite>January 1st, 1970</cite> epoch
     * is a datum change, since the epoch is part of {@linkplain org.apache.sis.referencing.datum.DefaultTemporalDatum
     * temporal datum} definition. However, such operation does not have all the accuracy issues of transformations
     * between geodetic datum (empirically determined, over-determined systems, stochastic nature of the parameters).
     * Consequently, some users may consider sufficient to represent temporal epoch changes as conversions instead
     * than transformations.
     *
     * @param properties        the properties to be given to the identified object.
     * @param sourceCRS         the source CRS.
     * @param targetCRS         the target CRS, which shall use a datum {@linkplain Utilities#equalsIgnoreMetadata
     *                          equals (ignoring metadata)} to the source CRS datum.
     * @param interpolationCRS  the CRS of additional coordinates needed for the operation, or {@code null} if none.
     * @param method            the coordinate operation method (mandatory in all cases).
     * @param transform         transform from positions in the source CRS to positions in the target CRS.
