Simple relation Cext=Cabs+Csca is automatically satisfied for default DDA
formulation. However, it may get much more complicated for more advanced
formulations, especially those that modify the interaction term between the
dipoles. So this warrants a special study to test the current implementation of
cross sections calculation in ADDA. Moreover, theoretical analysis is also
required.
For instance, currently when using '-int igt_so' optical theorem is satisfied
only up to O[(kd)^2].
