MRDFITS checks that the table name is not one of 35 reserved IDL names. If
it is, then a '_' is prepended to the structure name tag (e.g. "_CASE").
If I remember correctly, the names that caused the most problems were the
comparison operators (e.g. 'LE') which were the most likely to be a FITS
table column name.
