A quick double check; the multipole moments (MULT in case.in0 is simplest)
are the dipole from the sphere and the plane waves in some units? (I have
to work out exactly what the pseudo moments are.) If I am correct then they
are a quick metric of the on-site polarization, which is a useful number
(for me).
