// MSRange is a class that determines ranges of values in an MS
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// This class is used to determine the range of values present for
// the various columns in a MeasurementSet.
// This class is initialized from a MeasurementSet. If the MS contains more
// than one DATA_DESC_ID, it can be preselected on this to allow
// a consistent set of frequencies to be returned.
// The ms DO provides access to this class from glish and GUIs.
//
// <example> <srcblock>
// MSRange myRange(myMS);
// Vector<String> items(3); 
// // fill in some fields
// items(0)="field_id";
// items(1)="time";
// items(2)="data_desc_id";
// // get the range of values for the items specified
// cout << myRange.range(items)<<endl;
// // sample output: range=[field_id=[0,1,2],time=[4.5e9, 4.51e9],
// //   data_desc_id=[0,1,2]];
// // Now preselect on data_desc_id
// MSSelector mss(myMS);
// Vector<Int> dd(2); dd(0)=1; dd(1)=2;
// mss.selectinit(0,dd); // select data desc ids 1 and 2
// MSRange r2(mss);
// items(2)="amplitude";
// cout<< r2.range(items)<<endl;
// // sample output: [field_id=[0,1,2],time=[4.5e9, 4.51e9],
// //   amplitude=[0.00132,1.543]]
// </srcblock></example>
// </synopsis>
//
// <motivation>
// Finding out the range of values in a column is often needed before a 
// sensible selection of data can be made. This class, formerly part of 
// MSSelector, separates out this functionality.
