…inition (#237) The motivation for the PR is initially to allow the use [`product_distribution`](https://juliastats.org/Distributions.jl/stable/multivariate/#Distributions.product_distribution) in JuliaBUGS model. By writing ```julia @bugs begin x[1:2] ~ Distributions.product_distribution(fill(Normal(), 2)) end ``` It also enables ```julia julia> foo(x) = x + 1 foo (generic function with 1 method) julia> model_def = @bugs begin a = Main.foo(b) end quote a = Main.foo(b) end julia> compile(model_def, (;b=2)) BUGSModel (parameters are in transformed (unconstrained) space, with dimension 0): Model parameters: Variable sizes and types: a: type = Int64 b: type = Int64 ``` i.e., an easier way to introduce external functions into JuliaBUGS. This can't fully replace `@register_primitive` yet, because using `Main` module is relying on Julia runtime behavior and not very intuitive. Examples: ```julia julia> module TestModule bar(x) = x + 1 end Main.TestModule julia> model_def = @bugs begin a = TestModule.bar(b) end quote a = TestModule.bar(b) end julia> compile(model_def, (; b = 1)) ERROR: UndefVarError: `TestModule` not defined in `JuliaBUGS` ... ``` one would need to do ```julia julia> model_def = @bugs begin a = Main.TestModule.bar(b) end quote a = Main.TestModule.bar(b) end ``` also ```julia julia> @testset "t" begin foo1(x) = x + 1 model_def = @bugs begin a = Main.foo1(b) end compile(model_def, (; b= 1)) end t: Error During Test at REPL[18]:1 Got exception outside of a @test UndefVarError: `foo1` not defined in `Main` ... ```
