// <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.
