Description

Summary:

Match the RStan feature that lets you indicate which parameters to save by name (not by index within name).

I'm not sure if this is something that's best to filter down at the Stan level. @syclik?

Current Version:

v2.15.0

Research direction

Start by reviewing the RStan feature for selecting parameters by name and the discussion about whether filtering belongs at the Stan level. Compare that behavior with CmdStan's current parameter-saving flow; done means a clear design and implementation path for including or excluding named parameters.
