// <summary>
// A class for easy access to MeasurementSet main table columns
// </summary>

// <reviewed reviewer="Bob Garwood" date="1997/02/01" tests="" demos="">
// </reviewed>
 
// <prerequisite>
//   <li> MeasurementSet
//   <li> ArrayColumn
//   <li> ScalarColumn
// </prerequisite>
//
// <etymology>
// MSMainColumns stands for MeasurementSet main Table columns.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// This class provides access to the columns in the MeasurementSet.
// It does the declaration of all the Scalar and ArrayColumns with the
// correct types, so the application programmer doesn't have to
// worry about getting those right. There is an access function
// for every predefined column. Access to non-predefined columns will still
// have to be done with explicit declarations.
// <note role=warning> The Table that is used to construct this class must not
// be destroyed (or go out of scope) before this class does. Otherwise the
// scalar and array columns use by this class will be left dangling.</note>
// </synopsis>
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// // use as follows
// MeasurementSet ms("myMS",Table::Update); 
// MSColumns msc(ms);
// // show data from row 5
// cout << msc.data()(5);
// // change name of antenna on row 3 in antenna table
// msc.antenna().name().put(3,"NewAnt-3");
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Having to type long lists of Scalar and Array column declarations gets
// very tedious. This class attempts to relieve some of that tedium, while
// at the same time concentrating all the declarations in one place,
// making Type errors in the column declaration (only caught at run-time) less
// probable. Type errors in the use of the columns is caught at compile
// time.
// </motivation>
//
// <todo asof="1997/02/01">
//   <li> We might decide to merge this class with the MeasurementSet
// </todo>
