<p>Caveats:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Data type, Units, and Null value specifications are ignored.</li>
<li>Keywords are ignored.</li>
<li>The IPAC spec requires the first two header lines but this reader only
requires the initial column name definition line</li>
</ul>
<p>Overcoming these limitations would not be difficult, code contributions
welcome from motivated users.</p>
