add target prioritization example to the docs #33

A good example I want to be able to share is "Let's start from the population of exoplanets and filter down to a table of most promising targets for a particular observing goal: targets within right ascensions ? and declinations ?, brighter than ?, with transits deeper than ?, with estimated transmission spectroscopy signal-to-noise ratios for a particular telescope above ?".

35 walks through this example. It could probably use slightly better discussion of what biases are introduced by each cut, but I think we shouldn't stress too much about that here.
