PINT may want to have a new format for writing out models that is not backward-compatible with TEMPO/Tempo2 par files. The idea of this page is to brainstorm features that such a format should have. Please add your thoughts!

(@paulray) I think it should be human-readable and editable, like a par file, not a pickle file
(@paulray) All parameters should be able to have units specified, not just values (should this be required?)
(@paulray) Priors should be able to be specified on parameters
