weird error message when trying to initialise a simplex

[goldingn]

Different than #748, here we get an R error message about a missing function when try to set initial values for a simplex variable, rather than another object in a model that also contains a simplex variable.

Maybe both issues relate to there not being a function to map back from simplex variables to an appropriate free state?

z <- x * y
m <- model(z)
inits <- initials(x = t(c(0.1, 0.2, 0.7)))
mcmc(m, initial_values = inits)
#> Only one set of initial values was provided, and was used for all chains
