Description

While implementing the new DICS beamformer pipeline, one of the steps is to optionally restrict the source space to vertices with a maximum distance to the nearest sensor (to remove deep sources). This can be implemented by restricting either the SourceSpaces, or Forward objects.

Right now, there are a number of ways to "pick vertices" of a Forward or SourceEstimate object (restrict_forward_to_label, restrict_forward_to_stc, SourceEstimate.in_label). Rather than adding a restrict_forward_to_sens_dist function, I could instead create a VectexPickerMixin mixin that implements .restrict_to(vertices), restrict_to_label(labels), restrict_to_stc(stc), restrict_to_sens_dist(info), etc. and have SourceSpaces, Forward and SourceEstimate subclass this.

How do you feel about this? Maybe it deprecates too much API...
