[Ifeffit] Two edge problem (in the same scan)

I don't unfderstand why "sectioning" is necessary.  What precludes you
from reading the data set a second time and setting e0 to be appropriate
for the second edge?  Then your pre- and post-edge lines will be made
using the second e0 and everything else should just follow normally.

I understand that Athena does not have a way to specify the second edge in
the column selection dialog, but that seems to me like an inconvenience
more than a real limitation.  It is an inconvenience because you then have
to specify the second e0 by hand rather than have Athena's magic find it
for you, but is that really so hard?
