I agree that users can mess this up but I do not agree that IMAGR is in some way
non-standard.  Many tasks use adverbs ANTENNAS and BASELINE and, in my quick
check, they all do the same thing - UVPLT, UVCOP, CLIP, and many more are like
this.  Some tasks, mainly antenna-based ones like CALIB, use only ANTENNAS and
so apply selection only with that adverb.

I will add a bit of warning in IMAGR's help file, but users will probably have already
made this error before they get to IMAGR.
