Summary:
The Eigen overloads for model base methods like log_prob and unconstrain_array only accept Eigen::VectorXd inputs, which can require some data-reshaping/copying for downstream interfaces.
If these could be changed to Eigen::Ref<Eigen::VectorXd> (or overloads for these added), then the current Stan behaviour would be unchanged but interfaces could then pass Eigen::Map<Eigen::VectorXd> types and avoid extra copies
Current Version:
v2.35.0
