I?m a frequent user of Andrea Banassi?s epsilon.x.  However, the present
version of the code addresses only epsilon(0, omega), whereas I need for a
current project something like epsilon(q, omega + i eta).  I?m in the
process of recoding epsilon.f90 to accommodate q>0, but have noticed that
the formalism (i.e. ?algebra?) is contained in Banassi?s thesis.  So, has
this recoding already been done by someone?

Footnote
when the eigenstates of a particular system are ?localized,? e.g.,
a PWscf calculation of a ?monolayer? where the 3D plane wave representation
includes a large-real-space ?unit cell? in the ?perpendicular? direction, my
na?ve assumption is that some sort of modification to epsilon according to
Clausius-Mossott is in order
have others in the PWscf community encountered
this issue?
