  // ConcatRows is used to hold the row numbers forming the concatenation
  // of oher tables.
  // table. It contains a vector which can hold the row numbers in 2 ways:
  // <ol>
  // <li> As a normal series of row numbers. This is used by e.g. class
  //  <linkto class=ConcatTable>ConcatTable</linkto> 
  // <li> As a series of Slices. In this case 3 subsequent entries
  //  in the vector are used to represent start, end, and increment.
  //  This is used by a function like <src>ScalarColumn::getColumnRange</src>.
  // </ol>
  // Class <linkto class=ConcatRowsIter>ConcatRowsIter</linkto> can be
  // used to iterate through a ConcatRows object. Each step in the iteration
  // goes to the next slice. If the ConcatRows object contains a simple series
  // of row numbers, each slice contains only one row number.
  // This can degrade performance, so it is possible to use shortcuts by
  // testing if the object contains slices (using <src>isSliced()</src>)
  // and getting the row number vector directly (using <src>rowVector()</src>).
  // </synopsis>
 
  // <motivation>
  // ConcatRows is meant to have one class representing the various ways
  // of picking row numbers. This simplifies the interface of the table
  // and data manager classes dealing with getting/putting the data.
