setup_example_sim

[jsta]

I think a function that executes only the file handling portion of run_example_sim would be very useful. I propose a setup_example_sim function.

Alternatively, this could also be implemented as an argument to run_example_sim.

What's the use-case you're thinking about?

[jsta]

I am thinking of tutorial-like workflows that:

• start with entering the file system and manually copying files from nml_template_path()
• inspecting the nml and possibly changing values
• executing run_glm

A setup_example_sim function would simplify step 1 while allowing step 2 to occur before step 3.
