Roughly correct re my use case of interest, but the library I'm building also provides flexibility to hash somewhat arbitrary (though always small) objects. The users should be providing a...

> "Objects" are still SEXP-representable. If you can call `digest::digest())` on it we should be able to do it at the C level too, with fewer checks and faster. Or...

welp, i'm happy to bang out a draft PR that incorporates the distinct pipeline elements by copy-pasting those into the shell of some other current vignette here. can't commit to...

1.(2), yep - though pop isn't an intervention? 2. yep, convert to an intervention. 3. not sure what's being asked here. Something that I'm thinking about here that's maybe related:...

I'm a bit wary of the test changes in #98 relaxing the shouldn't-ever-go-extinct case. Perhaps there need to be other parameter tweaks to ensure non-extinction dynamics (more initial cases?), but...

> It's stochastic so won't any solution here be similarly arbitrary? We can never fully ensure non-extinction dynamics (except by tweaking the seed, but I don't see how that's necessarily...

Sounds reasonable - codify in CONTRIBUTING.md or some such?

Would want to double check the argument prefix collision part, but I think the rest has been addressed. Could definitely spin off whatever might remain into a more targeted issue.

I've lost track of the model diagram here, but I thought transmission from isolation was definitional precluded (currently - I agree it might be interesting to model e.g. household transmission)?
