Description
My workflow is pretty data.table based. It would be nice to have a format like draws_df that uses the data.table backend.
I think this would be semi copy-paste heavy wrt draws_df. Though it would let a few function that work over groups be a bit faster by using the data.table backend.
imo I don't care much about performance though, I just like the data.table scheme for parsing data
