41   * <p>
42   * (<i>for internal use</i>) Interface for accessing FITS header values with runtime exceptions only. Regular header
43   * access throws {@link HeaderCardException}s, which are hard exceptions. They really should have been softer runtime
44   * exceptions from the start, but unfortunately that was choice this library made a very long time ago, and we therefore
45   * stick to it, at least until the next major code revision (major version 2 at the earliest). So this class provides an
46   * alternative access to headers converting any <code>HeaderCardException</code>s to {@link IllegalArgumentException}.
47   * </p>
48   * <p>
49   * This is really just a rusty rail implementation, and rather incopmlete at it too. It has very limited support for
50   * header access, geared very specifically towards supporting the compression classes of this library, and not mean for
51   * use beyond.
52   * </p>
53   * 
54   * @see        Header
55   * 
56   * @deprecated This internal interface serves no purpose since 1.19. Will remove in some future. Prior to 1.19
57   *                 {@link Header} threw hard {@link HeaderCardException}, and this class was added so we can convert
58   *                 these into soft {@link IllegalArgumentException} instead. However, now that we demoted
59   *                 <code>HeaderCardException</code> to be soft exceptions itself, there is no reason to convert. It just
60   *                 adds confusion.
