// <synopsis>
// This class provides lookup and indexing into an MS OBSERVATION
// subtable. These services include returning rows numbers (which
// for the OBSERVATION subtable are OBSERVATION_ID's) associated
// with specific data in the subtable.

// <motivation>
// Collect together all subtable indexing and lookup for the
// OBSERVATION subtable, for encapsulation and efficiency.
