Add function(s) for continuum lowering
There some equations for approximating atomic energy level shifts due to continuum lowering - we should add these. I believe David Salzmann's Atomic Physics in Hot Plasmas has some simple equations which we could start with. Such functions would be handy especially for dense plasmas.
Section 3.2 in Salzmann (pg 58) is where continuum lowering and line shifts starts.
Paper by B. J. B. Crowley which provides a good reviews on Stewartt-Pyatt, plus accounts for relaxation effects which may have been seen in relatively recent continuum lowering measurements.
CHEMEOS paper has a different continuum lowering model, which is used by some codes at LANL. It includes changes to the statistical weights within a charge state.
