Returns a model's meta-information and configuration

SYNOPSIS

  import pprint
  pprint.pprint(mrcal.lensmodel_metadata_and_config('LENSMODEL_SPLINED_STEREOGRAPHIC_order=3_Nx=16_Ny=14_fov_x_deg=200'))

    {'Nx': 16,
     'Ny': 14,
     'can_project_behind_camera': 1,
     'fov_x_deg': 200,
     'has_core': 1,
     'has_gradients': 1,
     'order': 3}

Each lens model has some metadata (inherent properties of a model family) and
may have some configuration (parameters that specify details about the model,
but aren't subject to optimization). The configuration parameters are embedded
in the model string. This function returns a dict containing the metadata and
all the configuration values. See the documentation for details:

ARGUMENTS

- lensmodel: the "LENSMODEL_..." string we're querying

RETURNED VALUE

A dict containing all the metadata and configuration properties for that model
