// <prerequisite>

//   <li> ArrayColumn
//   <li> ScalarColumn

// <etymology>
// MSFieldColumns stands for MeasurementSet Field Table columns.

//
// <synopsis>
// This class provides access to the columns in the MSField Table,
// 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.
// See <linkto class=MSColumns> MSColumns</linkto> for an example.

  // If there is an ephemeris attached to a field table row, the nominal values of the
  // direction columns are interpreted as an offset to the ephemeris. So if there is
  // an ephemeris attached (EPHEMERIS_ID column contains value > -1), then the direction
  // returned by  delayDirMeas, phaseDirMeas, and referenceDirMeas is the ephemeris
  // direction plus the offset taken from the corresponding direction column.
  // This permits the convinient implementation of mosaics where several field table
  // rows share one ephemeris and use different offsets in each row to create the
  // mosaic pattern.
