Ongoing design considerations

[stelmo]

From our discussion today via Slack (@exaexa @laurentheirendt):

1. LinearModel -> CoreModel
2. Creation of SBMLModel, MATModel, JSONModel, (maybe YAMLModel?) types to store models read in from those files. Use all fields supported by the various file types.
3. Analysis functions should work on all model types. Input: model type. Output: numbers etc.
4. Reconstruction functions will output StandardModel or CoreModel depending on the input type with restrictions on which type of model depending on the purpose of the reconstruction functions
5. Squashing models: example: CoreModel and SBMLModel can at most output a CoreModel
6. Reconstruction functions will have as an input StandardModel or CoreModel
7. accessors rather than deep copies when converting model types

I think this will be done after #126 is merged?

👍 the main idea of this issue is in, safe to close then. :D
