@cbreto: I believe this pull request should be fine to merge at this point. It anticipates some changes that will occur in a forthcoming release, but is compatible with the current version of pomp (2.7). Let me know if you want to talk this through. I am a bit eager to have it merged, since users are wanting to use panelPomp on COVID-19 data, and it would be best were their code to be as stable as we can make it, i.e., were forthcoming changes to be anticipated to the extent possible.
