"""
A command-line script for renumbering antenna numbers > 254 if possible.
This is necessary for CASA because CASA cannot read in uvfits files with
antenna numbers > 254 (apparently 255 isn't ok because 0-based antenna 255 is
1-based 256 and that gets turned into 0 in some 8-bit code path in CASA).
This only works if the number of antennas (Nants_telescope) is less than 255.
Antenna names are not changed, so they reflect the original names of the antennas.
