In a scenario like below, Table will complain that column 'g' doesn't exist:


$ cat table-1.txt 
# Column 1: a [f,f32] Test column 1
# Column 2: b [f,f32] Test column 2
# Column 3: c [f,f32] Test column 3
# Column 4: d [f,f32] Test column 4
1  2  3  4
10 20 30 40
11 21 31 41
12 22 32 42

$ cat table-2.txt
# Column 1: e [f,f32] Test column 1
# Column 2: f [f,f32] Test column 2
# Column 3: g [f,f32] Test column 3
# Column 4: h [f,f32] Test column 4
5  6  7  8
50 60 70 80
51 61 71 81
52 62 72 82

$ asttable table-1.txt --catcolumnfile=table-2.fits -c'arith a g +' \
         --catcolumnrawname
asttable: table-1.txt: 'g' didn't match any of the column names.


The problem happens because the sanity checks for which files to use in Table
occurs before the new columns are inserted during '--catcolumnfile'!
