To bring this in line with other rstan packages.

posterior_predict could have a 3-fold function:

alias for effect_draw (average effect in a new setting)
predict distributions for new studies with fixed characteristics (newdata = ...)
predictive distributions for the existing K studies which is sort of implemented in predict. generic, but should use group_effects instead

What if newdata has logical type columns but either FALSE or TRUE is not present? Will model.matrix not break things?

Update: as of 0.7.1 we only need to implement the third bulletpoint in the list above.

Also need posterior_predict() and posterior_interval(). See #34 for much older conversations on this
