              Several examples looped correctly. Some typos

              _disp substituted by _displace since the latter
              abbreviation already exists in coreCIF. However
              some datanames (like
              _atom_site_Fourier_displace_wave_vector_seq_id)
              are probably too long. Let's try anyway.

  2000-07-19  Some further changes during COMCIFS review:

                *_description pending reworking of core
                AUDIT_LINK category to include external
                blocks. Description of the recommended usage
                for block codes in modulated structures moved
                to the discussion in data_audit_link_[ms].
              [ms] added consistently to category descriptions
                specific to this dictionary
              REFLNS_SHELL_CLASS category removed because
                this functionality is met in the Core by
                REFLNS_CLASS
              moved _refine_ls_F_calc_accuracy, *_details,
                *_formula, _refine_ls_restrained_wR_all,
                *_weighting_scheme to core
              _refine_ls_hydrogen_mod_flag,

                 respectively
              First attempt to rename symmetry data names in
                with the symcif proposals by changing
                _symmetry_ to _space_group_ throughout. The
                thinking is that the _ssg_ flag will indicate
                superspace group within the existing (draft)
                SPACE_GROUP category. I.D.Brown suggests that
                there is no need for a special category for
                equivalent positions; but I'm not sure at this
                stage, and retain Gotzon's proposal until
                further consideration is given to how to phase
                out the old core _symmetry_ names
              _symmetry_ssg_equiv_pos_as_xyz renamed
                _space_group_ssg_equiv_pos_algebraic for
                greater generality
              Added example to _space_group_ssg_code_WJJ      B. McMahon
  2000-10-16  Some additional changes:
              -symmetry items. Changes consistent with
               cif_sym.0.07:
               _space_group_ssg_numb_IT changed to
               _space_group_ssg_IT_number.
               SPACE_GROUP_SSG_EQUIV category changed to
               SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP.
               _space_group_ssg_equiv_pos_algebraic,
               _space_group_ssg_equiv_pos_seg_id changed to
               _space_group_symop_ssg_operation_algebraic,
               _space_group_symop_ssg_id.
               _space_group_equivalent_position_number changed to
               _space_group_symop_ssg_operations_number and
               therefore changed from SPACE_GROUP to
               SPACE_GROUP_SYMOP

               'equivalent position' replaced by 'symmetry
               operation' where neccessary (see _geom_*_site_symmetry_
               items).

              -New category ATOM_SITES_MODULATION. It contains
               only the _atom_sites_modulation_global_phase_t_
               items.

              -Some minors changes.
               Reference to JANA98 changed to JANA2000.

              have been removed.
              The categories ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_SPECIAL_FUNC
              and ATOM_SITE_OCC_SPECIAL_FUNC have suffered
              the following changes:
                _atom_site_displace_special_func_axis,
                _atom_site_displace_special_func_param,
                _atom_site_displace_special_func_param_code,
                _atom_site_displace_occ_func_param,
                _atom_site_displace_occ_func_param_code
              have been removed and substituted by:
                _atom_site_displace_special_func_sawtooth_,
                _atom_site_occ_special_func_crenel_.
              All the examples have been accordingly changed.
              The categories:
                ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_FOURIER,
                ATOM_SITE_OCC_FOURIER,
                ATOM_SITE_ROT_FOURIER,
                ATOM_SITE_U_FOURIER
              have been split. There are four new categories:
                ATOM_SITE_DISPLACE_FOURIER_PARAM,
                ATOM_SITE_OCC_FOURIER_PARAM,
                ATOM_SITE_ROT_FOURIER_PARAM,
                ATOM_SITE_U_FOURIER_PARAM
              linked with the former ones through two new items:
                _atom_site_displace_Fourier_id,
                _atom_site_displace_Fourier_param_id
              which are the _list_reference for the all the items
              in each category. The examples have been changed
              and some definitions slightly reworded.

              Added the new category ATOM_SITE_PHASON.

              Some cosmetic changes.                          I.D. Brown
                                                              J.Westbrook
  2001-05-12  *_subsystem_code items deleted except for
              _atom_site_subsystem_code; corrected _list_reference
              for _atom_site_Fourier_wave_vector_description and
              _list_link_parent for _atom_site_U_Fourier_param_id;
              moved _space_group_symop_ssg_operations_number to category
              space_group as _space_group_ssg_symops_number (all
              suggestions of IDB)                             B. McMahon
 2001-05-28  _space_group_ssg_symops_number and
             _cell_reciprocal_basis_vect_number now appear as
             comments. They are only useful for some
             _type_construct regex.
             _cell_reciprocal_basis_vect_number has been
             substituted by (_cell_modulation_dimension + 3)
             in some definitions.                             G. Madariaga
 2002-02-28  Definitions of:

             _space_group_ssg_name_WJJ and
             _space_group_symop_[ms]
             reworded according to the rules given in the
