// <etymology>
// MFCleanImageSkyModel implements the MF Clean algorithm.
// It is derived from <linkto class=SkyModel>SkyModel</linkto>.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis> 
// The MF Clean is an FFT-based clean algorithm. Cleaning is
// split into major and minor cycles. In a minor cycle, the
// brightest pixels are cleaned using only the strongest sidelobes
// (and main lobe) of the PSF. In the major cycle, a fully correct
// subtraction of the PSF is done for all points accumulated in the
// minor cycle using an FFT-based convolution for speed.
//
// The MF Clean is implemented using the <linkto class=ClarkCleanModel</linkto>
// class.
//
// Masking is optionally performed using a mask image: only points
// where the mask is non-zero are cleaned. If no mask is specified
// all points in the inner quarter of the image are cleaned.
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>
// See the example for <linkto class=SkyModel>SkyModel</linkto>.
// </example>
