 *
 * The default rows are one reference each, which is what keeps a planet's orbit coherent: its
 * period, semi-major axis, eccentricity and periastron come from one fit. A composite row takes
 * each column from wherever it is best measured, so an orbit read from it could pair one paper's
 * eccentricity with another's argument of periastron; none of its orbital columns are asked for.
 * Its system columns equal the default rows' wherever both are given (6 225 distances, 6 352
 * positions, none different). What it adds is the 100 distances the default rows leave blank,
 * TRAPPIST-1's seven among them, 870 host masses, and the parallax, photometry and stellar
 * parameters below — each of which may come from a different reference.
