After #17 is implemented, it will be possible to make residual images using Briggs weighting. Currently, it is only possible to visualize residuals using uniform weighting, as the visibilities have been gridded. This isn't ideal, because it means that the residuals have very high thermal noise levels and therefore any structure is hard to recognize.
Describe the solution you'd like
Create an easy workflow that calculates loose residual visibilities and then uses the Dirty Imager to make a Briggs-weighted image.
Write a tutorial demonstrating this functionality, or add to an existing tutorial

The NuFFT has now been implemented in #17, so it's possible to do this. Following discussion in #126 and #100 about reformatting Gridder and GriddedDataset, I think it would be best to make the following the primary way of imaging residuals:
Use an RML loop with a GriddedDataset to converge to the MLE + regularized image
Pass the image and the original u,v baselines through a NuFFT object to produce "loose" model visibilities
There are other routines around (like GriddedResidualConnector) that tried to accomplish visualization of residuals by just iFFT'ing the gridded residuals, but this does not allow any kind of data weighting other than uniform (which has the worst thermal sensitivity). Generally, good thermal sensitivity is useful when examining (faint) residual structures, so this was a problem. Depending on how efficient the proposed residual imaging loop ends up being, we might be able to delete GriddedResidualConnector from the codebase entirely.
