   Compute the term to integrate to compute the luminosity  
   distance. z can be a VECTOR of values.

   PURPOSE:   
     Calculate luminosity distance (in Mpc) of an object given its redshift   
   EXPLANATION:  
     The luminosity distance in the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker model is   
     taken from  Caroll, Press, and Turner (1992, ARAA, 30, 499), p. 511  
     Uses a closed form (Mattig equation) to compute the distance when the   
     cosmological constant is zero.   Otherwise integrates the function using  
     simpson_cosmo.	  
   EXAMPLE:  
     Plot the distance of a galaxy in Mpc as a function of redshift out  
     to z = 5.0, assuming the default cosmology (Omega_m=0.3, Lambda = 0.7,  
     H0 = 70 km/s/Mpc)  
       
     z = span(0,5,50);
