[Ifeffit] Ifeffit Digest, Vol 114, Issue 5 - Mn XANES

Manceau also describes his arc-tangent function in his earlier work
(Mn is also my focus):
Manceau, A.; Gorshkov, A. I.; Drits, V. A., Am. Mineral. 1992, 77
(11), 1133-1143.

I've found Farges to be a little vague on how he extracts the pre-edge
features for fitting.
