rstanarm and brms helpers
@paul-buerkner I think rstanarm and brms should outsource more of their internal helper/utility functions to rstantools. Many are similar and also useful for other developers and it would also simplify the code in rstanarm and brms. What do you think!
I agree. What kind of helpers do you have in mind?
Edit: many potential functions can be found here: https://github.com/paul-buerkner/brms/blob/master/R/misc.R
I guess anything that could potentially be shared by rstanarm and brms without too much work. Also anything that might be convenient for anyone else developing a package with rstan. I’ll think more about it.

It seems there hasn't been much activity in rstantools, and some shared code is now in posterior. Given we have posterior it would be good to clarify what should go to posterior and what would go to rstantools. Comments?
Good question. I just got home after traveling for several weeks and I have a lot to catch up on. After that, it would be good to have a chat about this and coordinating other things in the R packages too!
