[Users] weyl scalar symmetries

[Barry Wardell]

Hi Yosef,

I'm not so familiar with the parities in the symmetry thorns, but I am
reasonably confident that the manual Cartesian parities which are set by
WeylScal4 are correct (in fact, there was correction committed just a few
days ago). So, it seems likely that the parities in the symmetry thorns are
either wrong or my interpretation of what they mean is wrong.

Can someone who is familiar with the symmetry thorns comment on whether the
code there is correct? Are these parities used by any actively used code?
It looks like they were added for PsiKadelia.
