This PR addresses an issue in combined fits that @PiaLJP had seen in the past and @matteo-dc ran into this week:
When doing a combined fit and one of the fit functions is just a constant then the shape casting fails and one gets an error. The solution we found in the past is to add
x * 0
to the constant in the fit function to obtain the correct shape.This PR does not fix the issue as I wasn't able to come up with a good solution, yet. Instead, I added an explicit exception that informs the user and suggests our workaround. For the future, it would of course be desirable to correct the shape casting for this edge case.
