Description
This would have similar logic to the to_waterfall method, but it would apply a collapse method over baselines associated with each antenna. There would be some double counting, since each baseline is tied to 2 antennas, but I think it would still be very useful to some users.

Research direction
Start by locating the existing UVFlag.to_waterfall method and reading how it transforms shaped data. Then trace the baseline and antenna representations and the available collapse behavior. Done means UVFlag can transform baseline-shaped objects to antenna-shaped objects while applying collapse across each antenna's associated baselines, including the expected double counting.
