IBISCHK Model_type-based checking:
- Mike: Should we submit Lance's case as a BUG, or create a more comprehensive one?

  - Series types can have no tables, for example.
  - Tables with no currents can be treated as non-existent.
- Mike: These would be warning?
- Bob: Agree.
  - Some tools might try to use the data but that would be the tool's error.
- Lance: In some cases the tables might hint that the Model_type is incorrect.
- Bob: Yes it may be a cut and paste error.

- Lance: Agree these should be a Warning.
