{shift} and {tail} options, but it supports the {table} option.
Turning on the {table} option will use a linear interpolation table
for force and energy of the two-body term with {2**N} entries.
Tabulation can reduce the computational cost by a factor of 2-3
with 20-bit to 12-bit table sizes, respectively, at a small to
moderate reduction in precision. It is not recommended to use
smaller than 12-bit tables.

This pair style does not write its information to "binary restart
