Description
In X-ray crystallography, the most important prior distributions include two special cases of the generalized gamma distribtion. I am very keen to try this parameterization of the variational distritribution in my research project. How hard would it be for the TFP devs to implement this distribution? What is the likelihood of it being available in the near future?
Unrelated: TFP is a great package. Nobody else has so many useful reparameterized distributions. Thanks!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing existing distribution implementations in TensorFlow Probability and the Generalized Gamma distribution requirements in this request. Done would mean the requested parameterization is implemented and available as a reparameterized distribution.
