    Class definitions for python dispersion model for 
    model parameters. These classes are bridges to the C++
    dispersion object.
    
    The ArrayDispersion class takes in numpy arrays only.
    
    Usage:
    These classes can be used to set the dispersion model of a SANS model
    parameter:
    
        cyl = CylinderModel()
        cyl.set_dispersion('radius', GaussianDispersion())
    
    
    After the dispersion model is set, you can access it's
    parameter through the dispersion dictionary:
    
        cyl.dispersion['radius']['width'] = 5.0
    
    TODO: For backward compatibility, the model parameters are still kept in
    a dictionary. The next iteration of refactoring work should involve moving
    away from value-based parameters to object-based parameter. We want to
    store parameters as objects so that we can unify the 'params' and 'dispersion'
    dictionaries into a single dictionary of parameter objects that hold the
    complete information about the parameter (units, limits, dispersion model, etc...).
