Currently the Photometry class contains only simple primitives, with different types of flux/brightness measures enumerated. This is something that could be both streamlined and expanded significantly. This issue is a place to record ideas and brainstorm.
Streamlining: for example, by using Quantity classes which include errors and units internally
Expanding:
Using a new, more general 'brightness'/'intensity' class which can readily convert between different flux/magnitude units.
Allowing conversion between flux and luminosity using the distance
convert from bands to bolometric and visa-versa using more detailed modeling.
