Description
The pymc-experimental repo contains a ModelBuilder class which can help in productionized / deployment situations because of the save/load functionality.
It would be nice to bring this functionality in to CausalPy.
We should also add a general how-to docs page to illustrate its use.
I don't think we should inherit from the ModelBuilder in pymc-experimental. The functionality is relatively simple, so we could just add it to the PyMCModel class.
We would obviously want to add tests for this new functionality.
Very open to hearing from people using CausalPy in production on whether this would help in a production setting.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked ModelBuilder documentation and the PyMCModel entry point to understand the existing save/load behavior and decide what CausalPy should support. Add tests for the chosen behavior and a general how-to documentation page demonstrating its use; done means both are included and the tests pass.
