// MeasTable from Measure and Table
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// MeasTable contains the database interface for all
// data necessary for precession, nutation and other 
// <linkto class=Measure>Measure</linkto> related calculations.<br>
// All data are obtained by calls to a method. E.g.
// <src> fundArg(1) </src> will provide the first fundamental argument for
// nutation calculations, i.e. 'l'. <br>
// This class contains no constructors or destructors, only static
// methods and (static) constants.

// Where strings are passed in as arguments (observatory names, sources), they

// Usage examples can be found in <linkto class=Precession>Precession</linkto>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// To create a clean interface between the actual calculations and the
// methods to obtain the parameters for these calculations. Note that the
// tables are in general in the format and units found in the literature. This
// is to be able to easy check and change them. However, in the future
// re-arrangement could produce faster and more compact code.
// </motivation>

//   <li> more database interfaces, rather than constants
