Description

@andamian ALMA supports SODA subsetting (https://almascience.nrao.edu/soda/). I'd like astroquery to support it. The setup seems very complicated using existing machinery, but entirely possible.

Let me know if you're available to talk about this - I have a working example from Felix, but I don't yet understand how it fits with the astroquery vo data.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the working example from Felix and the existing astroquery VO data machinery to understand how ALMA SODA subsetting could fit. Done means astroquery supports ALMA SODA queries; the issue does not name specific files or tests.
