Cmdstanr: Import and use models made with brms or rstanarm
I think this basically means support supplying the model as a string.
This one was suggested by @stevebronder, just putting it out there so it doesnt get missed.

why does this require model as a string? why not add a mechanism that lets the user create a named file somewhere and save the model?

@jgabry opinions?
I know that we can add in features to allow this, but it's bad practice - the compiler works from files - we should make it easy for the user to see and find these files. not r-thonic?

I am fine with that. Will wait for feedback before proceeding.

That makes sense to me!

CmdStanPy allows you to specify the compiled exe file without corresponding stan file - this would also be a way to run CmdStanR and BRMS models

that is, when instantiating a CmdStanModel object, constructor takes either a stan_file or an exe_file arg - can also take both, and if exe file is newer than stan file, will skip compile step.

that also sounds good!
