Since the module docstring is used in the rendered HTML docs, it
serves a different role from the README.

Report precision info for np.float and np.complex in diagnostic report
For each of the five instruments (four SIs plus FGS) there are three provided OPD files. These represent wavefronts as follows:

1. The OTE and ISIM intrinsic WFE
2. The above, plus a slight defocus to blur the image slightly to approximate image motion.
3. The above #2, plus additional WFE due to SI internal optics.

The latter is the largest WFE, and is the default file used in simulations unless another is explicitly chosen. For NIRCam only there is a second, duplicate
set of these files with slightly improved WFE based on an optimistic case scenario for instrument and telescope alignment.

We should probably add some text here as follows:

The provided OPDs are based on the observatory design requirements, and were developed for the Mission Critical Design Review. The represent the nominal case of performance for JWST, and have not yet been updated with as-built details of mirror surface figures, etc. We intend to make updated OPD files available once suitable reference data have been provided to STScI. For now, see Lightsey et al. 2014 <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2014SPIE.9143E..04L>_ for recent predictions of JWST's likely performance.

Great, added! (Just noticed that the table wasn't compiling, so I fixed that too. Oops.)
