After #4267 and #4984, the next and last step for using HEALPix skymaps as input to PyGRB is to generate a sky grid that is constrained by a HEALPix skymap.
Some considerations to drive the design of the CLI interface:
In terms of the overall code (re)design, it would be good (if possible) to maintain a certain separation (i.e. modularity) between the various possible constraints on the sky location (no constraint = all-sky grid, constraint based on center and radius, constraint based on a HEALPix skymap) and the various possible ways to define the density of grid points (constant density, density defined by timing considerations only, density defined by fractional loss of incoherent SNR, density defined by fractional loss of coherent SNR, exact SNR loss vs metric approximation, etc).
