As both are discrete distributions I am unsure whether this would make sense for parameters (as we only allow continuous parameters right?). As for measurement data, would the user scenario correspond to the user having count-data?

Yes; they were used frequently for COVID-19 models, including the Bertozzi model in the benchmark collection.

Then I think it sounds like a good idea! I guess in this scenario it would be beneficial if the linter checks that there is count data?
