// <etymology>
// MSFlagCmdColumns stands for MeasurementSet FlagCmd Table columns.

//
// <synopsis>
// This class provides access to the columns in the MSFlagCmd Table, it does
// the declaration of all the ScalarColumns with the correct types, so the
// application programmer doesn't have to worry about getting those
// right. There is an access function for every predefined column. Access to
// non-predefined columns will still have to be done with explicit
// declarations.  See <linkto class=MSColumns> MSColumns</linkto> for an
// example.
