This closes #1950. While the manifold conversion can produce significant errors very close to the center (e.g. 10% at a distance of 50 km from the center as mentioned in #1950), it is already negligible at the inner-core boundary (1e-7 at 1000km radius), and completely insignificant at the CMB (5e-11 at 2890 km depth).
