Description
Summary:
expose_stan_functions is a really useful utility and I'd like to use it to hopefully speed up likelihood calculations. Related to #117. Unfortunately it doesn't work on rstanarm objects.
Description:
The function fails because the #included files are gone by run time. The simplest solution I can think of would be to inline all the includes at package build time.
Reproducible Steps:
Make an rstanarm model
res <- rstanarm::stan_glm(x ~ y, data = data.frame(x = rnorm(10), y = rnorm(10)))
then try to expose functions
rstan::expose_stan_function(res$stanfit)
errors with output:
could not find include file: #include /pre/Columbia_copyright.stan
Error in stanc(model_code = mc, model_name = "User-defined functions", :
failed to parse Stan model 'User-defined functions' due to the above error.

Research direction
Start at the expose_stan_function entry point and reproduce the failure with the rstanarm stan_glm example in the issue. Investigate how the included files are handled at package build time and verify that exposing functions from the resulting stanfit no longer reports a missing include file.
