Description
It would be helpful to have an integration between UVData and UVFlag to easily apply time-, frequency-, and/or baseline-dependent flags to a UVData object.
One option would be writing a function in UVData that initializes a UVFlag object from the UVData object, calls a utility UVFlag function which flags the desired selections, and then applies the flags back to the UVData object with apply_uvflag.

Research direction
Start by reading the UVData and UVFlag APIs, especially the existing apply_uvflag utility and how UVFlag represents time-, frequency-, and baseline-dependent selections. The work is done when a UVData object can initialize or use UVFlag to apply those requested flags back to itself, with behavior covering the stated selection types.
