/**
 * Implementation of the TableBuilder interface which reads
 * tables stored in column-oriented FITS binary table format.
 * The table data is stored in a BINTABLE extension which has a single row;
 * each cell in this row contains the data for an entire column of the
 * represented table.
 *
 * This rather specialised format may provide good performance for
 * certain operations on very large, especially very wide, tables.
 * Although it is FITS and can therefore be used in principle for data
 * interchange, in practice most non-STIL processors are unlikely to 
 * be able to do much useful with it.
