Description

We should add some helper functions that do things like read in parameters based on metadata, etc.

This would mainly be as debugging tools (easy way to load and inspect a parameter manually) but will probably be useful elsewhere too. They should probably let you stop at various points in the loading sequence (i.e. load the metadata, load the tar archive, load the dict with serialized values, load the dict with de-serialized values, load the whole parameter).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the existing parameter loading code in the repository to understand the current sequence of loading steps (metadata, tar archive, serialized dict, deserialized dict, full parameter). Then implement helper functions that allow stopping at each step, returning the intermediate state for inspection and debugging.
