  // <synopsis>
  // The CalTable classes provide basic access to calibration tables. This 
  // includes the creation of calibration tables, sorting and selection
  // capabilities, and basic data access. Specializations for baseline-based,
  // time-variable and solvable VisJones types, and sub-types, are provided 
  // through inheritance.
  // </etymology>

  //
  // <motivation>
  // This class is used by other calibration table accessors and iterators.
