        NIFTY subclass for spherical harmonics components, for representations
        of fields on the two-sphere.

        Parameters
        ----------
        lmax : int
            Maximum :math:`\ell`-value up to which the spherical harmonics
            coefficients are to be used.
        mmax : int, *optional*
            Maximum :math:`m`-value up to which the spherical harmonics
            coefficients are to be used (default: `lmax`).
        dtype : numpy.dtype, *optional*
            Data type of the field values (default: numpy.complex128).

        See Also
        --------
        hp_space : A class for the HEALPix discretization of the sphere [#]_.
        gl_space : A class for the Gauss-Legendre discretization of the
            sphere [#]_.

        Notes
        -----
        Hermitian symmetry, i.e. :math:`a_{\ell -m} = \overline{a}_{\ell m}` is
        always assumed for the spherical harmonics components, i.e. only fields
        on the two-sphere with real-valued representations in position space
        can be handled.
