Research direction

Start by reviewing issues #281, #178, and #127, then inspect the existing loo_plot_difference behavior and the loo v3 measures. Done means extending the plot beyond ELPD to support the new measures that have meaningful pointwise comparisons.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Once #281 is in, with loo v3, it may be useful to extend #178 beyond ELPD to support some of the new measures which have cogent pointwise comparisons. Related to/extends #127.
