Instead of having prior-specific arguments in
DataOptions, each prior now has a user-facing class whose constructor takes all prior-specific arguments. Priors with no arguments, such as Normal or Laplace, can still be specified as strings.User-facing API classes are generated automatically from the known priors and don't expose any methods or properties, since the user is not supposed to interact with them after construction.
