Parameters Pass

[arnavs]

Wherever possible, replace structs that we're using as parameter containers with NamedTuples (and the related constructors) from Parameters.jl. This issue binds to a large number of lectures, and involves a significant refactoring.

Lets remove this, since the parameters is not something that can be don in a pass, but requirs a complete rewrite.

[jlperla]

I am reopening this. With the current strategy, I think we may end up doing more passes and less of a full-rewrite-at-once approach.

@ajozefiak Let's talk about this issue today if you have time.

[jlperla]

I removed teh v1.0 release because we will have to ship without it, but we want to do it soon.

[arnavs]

@ajozefiak Are you out of things to do on this repo? I'm curious- take a look at the existing open PRs for this. If they make sense (basically, remove structs that aren't used for dispatch/replace them with namedtuples; can cannibalize existing shorthand constructors) maybe take a stab at cleaning up a few of the remaining ones.

[ajozefiak]

@arnavs Sure I'll have a look at these.

Is this checklist up to date for the Parameters pass?

[arnavs]

Checklist is out of date, will consolidate on one issue.
