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

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