// <synopsis>
// This class provides polarimetric image analysis capability.
// It takes an image with a casacore::Stokes axis (some combination
// of IQUV is needed) as its input.
//
// Many functions return casacore::ImageExpr objects. These are
// read-only images.
//
// Sometimes the standard deviation of the noise is needed.
// This is for debiasing polarized intensity images or working out
// error images. By default it is worked out for you with a
// clipped mean algorithm. However, you can provide sigma if you
// know it accurately. It should be the standard deviation of the noise in
// the absence of signal. You won't measure that very well from
// casacore::Stokes I if it is dynamic range limited. Better to get it from
// V or Q or U. When this class needs the standard deviation of
