/**
*
* Standardized FITS header keywords. In addition to the reserved keywords defined by the FITS standard, there are
* conventions and commonly adopted usage patterns. Many organisations have defined their own sets of keywords also. To
* help users conform to the standards and conventions, the library offers a collection the standard and commonly used
* FITS keywords.
*
*
* Using these 'standardized' keywords can now make compiler checked references to keywords (No more pruney String
* references), and prevents improper usage by restricting the types of HDUs keywords may appear in, as well as what
* type of values they may be associated with. See
* {@link nom.tam.fits.Header#setKeywordChecking(nom.tam.fits.Header.KeywordCheck)} and
* {@link nom.tam.fits.HeaderCard#setValueCheckingPolicy(nom.tam.fits.HeaderCard.ValueCheck)} on controlling what
* checking is done on keyword usage and how violations are dealt with.
*
*
* Some of these dictionaries contain keywords that have equivalent usage. These are listed in
* {@link nom.tam.fits.header.Synonyms}.
