// <prerequisite>

// </prerequisite>
//
// <etymology>
// The MSTableImpl implements non-templated static functions shared by
// all MSTable objects.
// </etymology>
//
// <synopsis> 
// MSTableImpl is only for internal use by the MeasurementSet base class
// MSTable.
// </synopsis> 
//
// <example>
// </example>
//     
//
// <motivation>
// The reasons for existance for this class are: sharing of code between
// the various MeasurementSet Tables and avoiding duplicate code in the
// instantiations of MSTable
// </motivation>
