    _______________________________________________________

Details:

When the input plain-text table's metadata contains a type that is not
understood, Gnuastro's plain-text table library will ignore the full metadata.
However, the numeric data type is an optional metadata, and it if doesn't
exist, Gnuastro will use a default data type (float64). So if it is not
understood (usually due to a typo), its wrong to ignore the metadata over all,
we should just use the default type.
