Galactic and gravitational dynamics in Python
Bug report from @abonaca: Not able to use the CylSpline potential with MockStream functionality because: ``` ValueError: Input potential must be C-enabled: one or more components in the input external...
Right now it is very slow because it must construct a spline object with the input grids each time the energy/gradient/density functions are called. It might be possible to store...

Like the `NFWPotential`, instead of specifying mass, it could be useful to specify circular velocity and scale radius.
When working on #280, I fixed some bugs with running `fit_toy_potential()` with a log true potential. We should test this method with all relevant potential classes.
Right now, many of the potential classes have scale radii with different names (a, c, r_s, etc.). We could make them all consistent!
