One of the chief problems we have is that the grids are voluminous. We have contemplated many ways to attack that problem with mini-grids (#27), or a binary storage format (#26).
Here we propose another stategy--- the ability to read in just a single standalone static file.
Imagine I simply hand you the (URL or local) path to a single PHOENIX or Sonora model. For Sonora, these have all the information you need to make a spectrum object. For Phoenix, you also need the wavelength file (we could handle that, though).
