Addresses #313 by adding a more flexible variant of
SimpleExtendingTraceTranslator:ExtendingTraceTranslatoraccepts a bijective trace transform that remaps the choices sampled by the forward proposal distribution, before merging those choices into the extended model viaupdate.Before I move forward with adding documentation and test cases, I'm wondering if perhaps this should just replace the existing
SimpleExtendingTraceTranslator? This does everything thatSimpleExtendingTraceTranslatordoes, and I don't think it adds much of a performance overhead to have theif-elseclause inExtendingTraceTranslatorthat checks whether a trace transform needs to be applied. For backwards compatibility, I could even makeSimpleExtendingTraceTranslatora constructor alias for anExtendingTraceTranslatorwith the bijection filled in withnothing.
