                Severity: 4 - Important
              Item Group: Output not reasonable

    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When given the following command is run on any FITS file (let's say `img.fits'
for this bug report), Header will think the value is a number and so write the
FITS keyword value as a number, not a string.


$ astheader --write="EXAMPLE,87095e5,Should be string" img.fits


The keyword that is added is:


$ astheader img.fits | grep "Should be a string."
EXAMPLE =          8709500000. / Should be a string.


I am working on it...
