One knot of a polynomial basis spline (B-spline) :math:`u(t)`
is defined by the coefficients :math:`u_n` up to order :math:`n = k`.
If the knot is evaluated starting at time :math:`t_0`, the output

If the coefficients are evaluated starting at time :math:`t_0`,

u(t) &= \sum_{n=0}^k \frac{u_n}{n!} (t - t_0)^n \\

This class contains multiple methods to convert spline knot data from SI
to machine units and multiple methods that set the current spline
coefficient data. None of these advance the timeline. The :meth:`smooth`
method is the only method that advances the timeline.
