Class VOTNameMaker

        VOTNameMaker

A class for generating db-unique names from VOTable fields.

This is important to avoid all kinds of weird names the remaining infrastructure will not handle. "Normal" TableDefs assume unquoted SQL identifiers as names, and want all names unique.

Using this class ensures these expectations are met in a reproducible way (i.e., given the same table, the same names will be assigned).
