Could save time and allocations by not going back and forth between spaces

Drawback: will fail when any distribution in the constrained space lives in a submanifold of the ambient space; e.g., Dirichlet.

Good point.. seems better not to do this then. Just to double-check, this was just a suggestion, was not actually implemented? Then I suggest we close that issue.

Yep, not implemented. Closing now!
