Progress bar?

[rsenne]

Heya @gdalle would you have any interest in an optional progress bar for baum_welch using Progressmeter.jl?

Feel free to submit a PR, but I have two worries:

• Will this cause allocations where there previously were none?
• Will this work in REPL-less environments like notebooks? From what I gather, ProgressLogging.jl is still better for Pluto.jl

Good questions. Here are my thoughts:

1.) There will be some amount of allocation, but to my understanding, one can do allocation-minimal progress bars. For any PR I do I will make sure to do a benchmark.
2.) It will! I've used the progress bars in both Pluto.jl and Jupyter notebooks. I'm unfamiliar with ProgressLogging.jl--but I'll look into it, maybe this is a better solution.
