This will be useful among other cases when defining "PreliZ models" for prior predictive elicitation/checks (coming soon). For the moment functions like
plot_*
orsummary
does not support parameters being arrays, instead, we raise an error indicating the user to use scalars. It should not be too much work to extend the support for non_scalar parameters, but it will certainly add some complexity to the code-base and the benefit will be marginal as users can easily get the same result right now by just adding a for loop. So a benefit could be consistency, but not sure of functionality. Finally, this PR also adds more tests.
