(** Data structure describing a pair of primitive shells.

A primitive shell pair is the cartesian product between two sets of functions, each
set containing all the functions of a primitive shell. These are one-electron functions.

      \left\\{ g_{m_x,m_y,m_z}'(\mathbf{r}) \right\\}

{%
\begin{align*}

{!a_minus_b}, {!a_minus_b_sq} and {!norm_coef_scale} depend only on the
centering of the two shells, and {!ang_mom} only depends on the angular
momenta of the two shells. Hence, these quantities need to be computed only
once when a {!ContractedShellPair.t} is built. Hence, there is the
{!create_make_of} function which creates a [make] function which is suitable
for a {!ContractedShellPair.t}.

val make : PrimitiveShell.t -> PrimitiveShell.t -> t
(** Creates a primitive shell pair using two primitive shells. *)

val create_make_of : PrimitiveShell.t -> PrimitiveShell.t ->
  (PrimitiveShell.t -> PrimitiveShell.t -> float -> t option)
(** Creates a make function [PrimitiveShell.t -> PrimitiveShell.t -> float -> t] in which
    all the quantities common to the shell and independent of the exponent
    are pre-computed.

    The result is None if the normalization coefficient of the resulting
    function is below the cutoff, given as a last argument.
