// <etymology>
// This class provides a pixel mask for the FITSQualityImage class.
// </etymology>
 
// <synopsis>
// Masked values are indicated in FITS images via magic
// value blanking.  This class provides an on-the-fly mask.
// The doGetSlice function reads the data values and returns
// an Array<Bool> which is True (good) or False (bad - blanked)
//
// Because FITSMask inherits from Lattice<Bool> it can be
// used as the private pixel mask data member for FITSQualityImage
// returned by the MaskedLattice::pixelMask() functions
//
// The FITSQualityMask object is constructed from the FITSImage objects
// of the data and the error extension. These must be the same one that
// the FITSQUalityImage object constructs internally.  They shared by both
// FITSImage and FITSMask.
//
// </synopsis>
//
// <example>
// <srcblock>
// </srcblock>
// </example>
 
// <motivation>
// FITSQualityImage provides access to FITS images with a data and and error
// extension. It needed an efficient way to handle the pixel mask
// other than iterating all the way through the image
// first to set a mask.
// </motivation>

// #   <li> add this feature
// #   <li> fix this bug
// #   <li> start discussion of this possible extension
