// MFMSCleanImageSkyModel implements the MultiScale, MultiField Clean algorithm.
// It is derived from <linkto class=SkyModel>MFCleanImageSkyModel</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
// image is cleaned using an approximate PSF and the MultiScale
// clean algorithm. In the major cycle, a fully correct
// subtraction the of cleanned emission from the visibilities
// on a pointing-by-pointing bassis is performed.
//
// 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>.
