Yes, just to test if it does what you need.

It would fit better to expose the "exact" setting as an optional
parameter of xray.structure.scattering_type_registry(), under
some more telling name, maybe "exact_table_lookup".
The idea is that you call this method before doing any structure
factor calculations if the settings need to be customized. The last
explicit call determines the state of the registry. (I know
this mechanism isn't obvious, but I was trying to avoid introducing
even deeper object hierarchies.)
