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

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