reads the file output of MAD commands

readmad(filename)#: reads the file output of MAD commands

TWISS, STRUCTURE, SURVEY.

atlattice = readmad(filename)

readmad reads the MAD file header to determine the number of elements

in the lattice, symmetry flag, the number of supperperiods etc.

Then it interprets the entry for each element in the MAD output file.

The topology of the lattice is completely determined by

Length, Bending Angle, and Ttilt Angle in each element

readmad uses MAD TYPES and the values of to determine

which pass-method function in AT to use.
