Description

As discussed on the ctools mailing list (no archive to link to?):

Please add an option to select the HDU name when loading IRFs (or any HDU really).

E.g. here:
http://cta.irap.omp.eu/gammalib-devel/doxygen/classGCTAPsfKing.html#ff762e0a868161564e45ddc3343673ee

Background info: we’d like to get rid of this requirement on exported HESS FITS data (which is about 100k HDUs for one chain / cut / prod):
http://gamma-astro-data-formats.readthedocs.org/en/latest/data_storage/hdu_index/index.html#disclaimer-about-hduname
We’re intensely working on IACT FITS data format specs we want to use for HESS (since no specs appeared in CTA for the past years) for ctools and Gammapy analysis and plan to send an email to cta-data about this effort in January.
