Why holomorphic? Because a spherical lens surface parametrised as z(x,y) is holomorphic. Then light refraction according to Snell's law also gives holomorphic funktions for the rays. All this if course has a finite convergence radius.
Aspherical corrections are usually even polynomials and hence keep the lens surface holomorphic. Of course a random lens surface (Flaschenboden) is not holomorphic let alone rotationally symmetric. Now my point is not to throw out parameters a and c. Leave them in for backward compability. My query is to add two more odd terms. My prediction is that CP errors will go down significantly. Fine-tuned CPs are good to about 1/10th of a pixel. This is what I found for my cameras in the past.
