[fitsbits] Abuse of EXTEND keyword
I don't think you can have it both ways.
If currently, you can have extensions *without* having EXTEND=T in the initial header, then by the "once FITS, always FITS" rule, EXTEND=T has no meaning. To me, it originally had value because I didn't have to figure out where the next header was (I just returned an error if that was attempted without EXTEND=T), but if you've allowed other uses, you have to live with it and just create more headache for the software developers. Deprecate it. I agree with Arnold and others. Arne |
