The (G/T)NFW profiles are defined with a mass attribute that refers to the overdensity mass of choice. In other profiles (e.g., Einasto) this may not be so obvious, yet I would still like to have a mass attribute that is consistent with something like a total mass. Note that the Einasto mass profile converges and so a true total mass exists. I could call this mtot, for instance, or total_mass, or similar.
Perhaps I can use the mdelta method to calculate an overdensity mass given the total mass or some other mass?
