I think it'd be useful to implement this function:

example of use here:

Or this could be over in rcldf: https://github.com/SimonGreenhill/rcldf/pull/30

this is now in rcldf for downloading cldf releases -- but why did you want to download a bunch of old grambank analyses?

Great :)!

  • but why did you want to download a bunch of old grambank analyses?

I don't understand the question. Colleagues who are working with grambank data often need to fetch data and are fetching it in non-optimal ways with moving derived files around. Explicitly fetching a particular version of cldf data from the internet seems smart and explicit to me. Then the code says exactly what version and the workflow is clear from data input to analysis and plotting etc.
