... Operationally, g(x) is the acceleration of a free particle
(at location x) relative to the chosen reference frame.
-- The person who _uses_ g or _measures_ g doesn't know and doesn't care
how much of the local g value is due to purely-gravitational effects and
how much is due to acceleration of the reference frame.
It's impossible in principle to tell the difference.
