Research direction

The issue requests adding support for future covariates in exponential smoothing models. The contributor should review the existing exponential smoothing implementation in darts' models module (e.g., darts/models/forecasting/exp smoothing.py) and how other models incorporate covariates (e.g., darts/models/forecasting/arima.py). The comments may provide additional context on the desired API and constraints, though the issue body is empty.
