Description
When variables are vector/matrix they are stored in a tibble named as a[i,j].
@jgabry and I were talking about whether there was some utility of creating a convenience function that splits the indices in long form i.e.,
param idx1 idx2
a i j
It would be useful for getting things in the right form for Bayesplot.

Research direction
Review the proposed tibble representation for vector and matrix variables, including how names such as a[i,j] should become long-form param, idx1, and idx2 columns. Check how Bayesplot expects these values, then define the convenience function's input, output, and completion examples before implementing it.
