We want a faster and more robust way to compute the correlation, expanded in Spherical (or Cartesian) Harmonics. We also want to include the cross-{ell},m data covariance that are there, but currently ignored. We don't want to get bogged down in fancy binning in x-y-z or r-{theta}-{phi}, just r. Want to just look at C{sub {ell}m} to decide how many terms to keep--or better yet the pair distributions directly
