_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function converts the parameters of a distribution to the
     L-moment as represented in an L-moment object. This function
     dispatches to 'lmomCCC' where CCC represents the three character
     distribution identifier: 'cau', 'exp', 'gam', 'gev', 'gld', 'glo',
     'gno', 'gpa', 'gum', 'kap', 'nor', 'pe3', and 'wak'. The
     conversion of parameters to TL-moments ('TLmoms') is not
     supported. Specific use of functions such as 'lmomTLgld' or
     'lmomTLgpa' for the TL-moments of the Generalized Lambda and
     Generalized Pareto distributions is required.
