Comment:

 I have checked the parities for I and J, and agree with what
 "physicsbeany" suggests: i.e. curvIi and curvJi should be -1.  curvIr and
 curvJr remain as +1.  I have committed the corresponding change
 (https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/einsteinanalysis/commits/dbf613b8dd7c34c685e9ef9091c7608f146b9db4)
 and regenerated the code
 (https://bitbucket.org/einsteintoolkit/einsteinanalysis/commits/6eef88eef2e6dfb51d61e5b57e2f95ac814928ad).

 There are also invariants //J1–J4 "of the Narlikar and Karmarkar basis as
 defined in B5-B8 of arXiv:0704.1756. Computed from Weyl tensor expressions
 using xTensor."//  which I think Barry Wardell added.  Barry, do you know
 what the parities of these are supposed to be?  In my commit, I added a
 TODO for this.  I have computed the parities, and get +1 for all of them.
 Do you agree?  If so, I will add this explicitly in the code to eliminate
 the warning about assuming +1.
