> Support the [Military Grid Reference
> System|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Grid_Reference_System] (MGRS).
> The MGRS is the geocoordinate standard used by NATO militaries for locating
> points on the earth. It is based on the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM)
> and the Universal Polar Stereographic (UPS) projections. Despite its name,
> MGRS is used not only for military purposes; it is used also for organizing
> Earth Observation data in directory trees for example.
> MGRS can be used as an alternative to {{GeoHashCoder}} already available
> since Apache SIS 0.1. A MGRS advantage is that it uses rectangular
> coordinates in metres instead than degrees, and that it provides a way to
> divide the Earth in grid cells of the same size (except those that are on the
> border between two zones).
