/**
* (for internal use) Compression support for binary tables. These are classes that are used internally by
* {@link nom.tam.image.compression.hdu.CompressedTableHDU}. They should not have been exposed to users, but oh well.
* It's a bit misleading that the package name implies images, when this is not at all related to FITS images, but oh
* well. The principle of compression is however similar, with large binary tables being broken into 'tiles' consisting
* of a few rows typically, which are then compressed with an algorihtm of choice.
