Are you sure we don't need this ?

The point was to have something, that allows to change parameters without knowing which parameters are actually around (e.g. many functionals have
βandγparameters under the same meaning and you may want something likechange_parameter(xc, β=1.0)to be able to generically change this parameter without knowing whatxcis.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Indeed, but I am not sure that this operation makes sense in practice. You'd still have to assume that the functional takes exactly
βandγfor example, without knowing what they are used for.The biggest use case is probably unwrapping Duals -- for that I have a
@generatedtrick in DFTK.Uh oh!

I'm happy to drop it for now if it causes headaches.
But I want to remark that this does indeed give a generic way to perform sensitivity analysis in standard functionals ... an aspect that I think is aspirational for us in the long run, so we should think a little if there is still a way this can be achieved generically, if we drop this.

Looking towards the future and GPUs, a function like
change_parameterscan be quite useful.The GPU compiler needs very explicit types for successful compilation. In my POC branch, I've used it to insure that upon entry of a function to be differentiated, all types are explicitly converted to match (e.g. here).
Generally, I think it can be convenient to get and set functional parameters in a generic way. This could be done by writing a function which returns the parameters as a NamedTuple, and a
change_parametersfunction that takes a NamedTuple/ComponentArray.
