In curesurv: Mixture and Non Mixture Parametric Cure Models to Estimate Cure Indicators

#' @title exhaz_ic_adtneh2 function
#'
#' @description produces confidence interval of excess hazard using a
#'  time-to-null excess hazard model with linear effect on parameter tau
#'  The confidence intervals calculation is based on the plain method.
#'
#'
#' @param z_tau Covariates matrix acting on time-to-null parameter.
#'
#'
#' @param z_alpha Covariates matrix acting on parameter alpha of the density of
#'  time-to-null excess hazard model
#'
#'
#' @param x time at which the predictions are provided
#'
#'
#' @param object ouput from a model implemented in curesurv
#'
#'
#' @param level \code{(1-alpha/2)}-order quantile of a normal distribution
#'
#' @param Dexhaz parital derivatives of exess hazard wrt theta obtained by dexhazdtheta_adtneh2, calculated if not given
