This is how benchmark results would change (along with a 95% confidence interval in relative change) if 4a71e21 is merged into master:

• ✔️loo_function: 1.95s -> 1.96s [-0.15%, +0.83%]
• ✔️loo_matrix: 1.84s -> 1.84s [-0.46%, +0.4%]
  Further explanation regarding interpretation and methodology can be found in the documentation.

Note on reverse dependency checks:

The following packages failed to install when using revdepcheck::revdep_check(), therefore I created a fork of each package and run devtools::check() locally using loo version 2.10 as dependency. All packages passed the tests:

• bayesdfa
• footBayes
• TriDimRegression
• pcFactorStan
• rtmpt
