// MSCalEnums: Field name dictionary for casacore::MeasurementSet and calibration tables
// </summary>
// <use visibility=export>
// <reviewed reviewer="" date="" tests="" demos="">
// <prerequisite>
// <li> <linkto class="casacore::MeasurementSet">casacore::MeasurementSet</linkto> module
// </prerequisite>
//
// <etymology>
// From casacore::MeasurementSet and calibration enumerations.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis>
// MSCalEnums defines a global dictionary of field names and properties
// used by both the casacore::MeasurementSet and calibration tables. Field names
// and properties are accessed through enumerated constants, thus
// ensuring a consistent and uniform interface. Both column names and
// keywords are included here. All data are stored in static maps.
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// // Determine the column name for the SPECTRAL_WINDOW_ID column
// casacore::String name = MSC::fieldName (MSC::SPECTRAL_WINDOW_ID));
//
// </srcblock>
// </example>
//
// <motivation>
// Provide unified, consistent access to data fields used in the synthesis
// system, in both the user interface and individual applications.
// </motivation>
//
// <todo asof="98/01/05">
// Expand the column description information stored by this class.
// </todo>
// Re-define MSCalEnums to MSC for simplified access. Requires
// forward declaration of MSCalEnums
