/** @struct Description

@brief A struct which stores a name, a unit and a comment

To have proper descriptions of commands and services in the network
(and later proper informations in the FITS files) this struct provides
a simple storage for a name, a unit and a comment.

Assume you want to write a descriptive string for a command with three arguments.
It could look like this:

   COMMAND=Description|int[addr]:Address range (from - to)|val[byte]:Value to be set

Description is a general description of the command or service itself,
int and val are the names of the arguments (e.g. names of FITS columns),
addr and byte have the meaning of a unit (e.g. unit of FITS column)
and the text after the colon is a description of the arguments
(e.g. comment of a FITS column). The description must not contain a
line-break character \n.

Such a string can then be converted with SplitDescription into a vector
of Description objects, each containing the name, the unit and a
comment indivdually. The first object will contain COMMAND as name and
Description as comment. The unit will remain empty.

You can omit either the name, the unit or the comment or any
combination of them. The descriptions of the individual format strings
are separated by a vertical line. If you want to enclose the name into
[]-braces (e.g. marking an optional argument in a dim command), you
have add empty brackets for the units.

For a suggestion for rules for the names please have a look at:
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/ofwg/docs/ofwg_recomm/r15.html

For units please see:
http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/heasarc/ofwg/docs/general/ogip_93_001/ogip_93_001.html
