        A  wavelength defining device.
        
        This is a base class for everything which
        selects a wavelength or energy, be it a 
        monochromator crystal, a velocity selector,
        an undulator or whatever.
        
        The expected units are:
        
        * wavelength: angstrom
        * energy:     eV
