// VisBuffer2 is a buffer for visibility data
// </etymology>
//
//<synopsis>
// The VisBuffer is designed to contain a small amount of visibility-related
// data.  The VisBuffer can be used in two somewhat distinct ways.  The first
// is as an integral (or attached) part of the VisibilityIterator and the second
// is as a free or unattached object.
//
// Attached VisBuffer -- Each VisibilityIterator has a exactly one VisBuffer
// attached to it.  This VisBuffer is created and destroyed by the
// VisibilityIterator.  The role of an attached VB is to contain the data
// currently "pointed to" by the VI.  Because of this tight coupling between
// an attached VI and its VB the operations that can be applied to a VisBuffer
// are somewhat restricted in order to maintain the relationship between the
// MeasurementSet's data and the data i the VisBuffer (failure to do so allows
// obscure bugs to be created).  As such the functions for averaging in either
// the time or frequency axes is not permitted on an attached VB.
//
// Free VisBuffer -- A free VisBuffer is used to contain data that might not
// correspond to the data in the MeasurementSet.  The meaning of the data in
// a free VisBuffer will depend on the user.  Some obvious examples might be:
// a VisBuffer used to resample or average frequencies together; creation of
// "virtual" spectral windows which might reconnect frequencies that were
// split into separate spectral windows becasue of hardware limitation; and
// performing a time average of visibility data.  Because the free VB is not
// tightly coupled to a VI, it is the responsibility of the user to assign
// meaningful values to some of the fields in the VB.  For example, the user
// averaging across time will need to decide what values ought to be reported
// for the VisBuffer's timestamp, pointing angle, etc.
//
// Another possible attribute of a VisBuffer is "rekeyable".  This is for when
// the VisBuffer is being filled by client code rather than from an input MS.
// Because of this, the enforcement of VisBuffer invariants is relaxed.  Users
// will be able to change row key fields (e.g., antenna1, data description id,
// etc.) as well as change the shape of the data.  The method validateShapes is
// provided which will check that all modified shapes are consistent.  This method
// is automatically called by writeChangesBack and should also be called whenever
// the construction process is complete and the VisBuffer is about to be released
// for use; it's better to catch the error rather than letting an inconsistent
// VisBuffer escape into consuming code.
