TableBuilderflavor into a table.
It should return true if it thinks that its
TableBuilder.streamStarTable(java.io.InputStream, uk.ac.starlink.table.TableSink, java.lang.String) method stands a reasonable chance of
successfully constructing a StarTable from a
DataSource whose input stream is described by the
DataFlavor flavor.
It will typically make this determination based on the flavor's
MIME type.
This method should only return true if the flavor looks like
it is targeted at this builder; for instance a builder which
uses a text-based format should return false for a
flavor which indicates a MIME type of text/plain.
This method is used in supporting drag and drop functionality
(see StarTableFactory.canImport(java.awt.datatransfer.DataFlavor[])).

The input stream should be prepared for use prior to calling
this method, so implementations should not in general attempt to
decompress or buffer istrm.

public void setDecoders(RowEvaluator.Decoder<?>[] decoders)
Note the order of the supplied decoder list is significant; a type earlier in the list will be preferred over one later in the list where the data is consistent with both.
In case of no match, a string decoder will be used, even if it does not appear in the supplied list.
