See #1674 for an initial attempt. Thanks to @sims1253 for the suggestion There are several functions that historically duplicated work and now can be done in a single call returning a tuple. These were primarily added in stan-dev/math#2931: qr: replaces calls to qr_Q/qr_R qr_thin: replaces calls to qr_thin_Q/qr_thin_R eigendecompose_sym: replaces calls to eigenvalues_sym/eigenvectors_sym eigendecompose: replaces calls to eigenvalues/eigenvectors complex_schur_decompose: replaces calls to complex_schur_decompose_t/complex_schur_decompose_u svd: replaces calls to svd_U/svd_V csr_extract : replaces calls to csr_extract_u/csr_extract_v/csr_extract_w The proposal is to add a small optimization which detects cases where these are called one after the other and rewrite them to use the combined version. It may also be useful to separately flag a warning for models where the older functions are both called on the same thing.
