I would suggest that we move "model" to a new top-level package, on the 
same level as holopy.  The idea is to have the scattering calculations 
completely independent of the rest of the holopy code base.  In the 
long-term we'd like to have the scattering package evolve into a 
full-fledged codebase for calculating scattered intensity and fields 
using a variety of different theories.  This would be useful for many 
other purposes besides holography.

Then we just need a name for this package.  Scatterpy, anyone?
