Description
Rather than unpacking the opacity data into lots of bloated plain text files, and then further bloating by caching them as `.bin` files, we can restructure these as hdf5 files to save a lot of space and speed up i/o.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the current opacity-data unpacking and .bin caching workflow in the repository. Determine how the kap tables are produced and consumed, then define completion as replacing the bloated text and cache representation with HDF5 files that reduce storage and improve I/O.
