ctools

I initialized cstsmapsplit using the following command:

obs = gammalib.GObservations("obslist.xml")
tsmapsplit = cscripts.cstsmapsplit(obs)

I specified all the parameters required by cstsmapsplit except for inobs and inmodel.
The script runs and produces the cttsmap command list output file, without complaining or querying further parameters.
However, the cttsmap commands do not have the inobs and inmodel parameters, which means that they cannot be used as they are.

The reason is probably at line 202 in cstsmapsplit.py :

if self[par.name()].is_query():
    continue

These lines prevents cstsmapsplit from writing in the command list the parameters that were not previously queried, which is the case of inobs and inmodel if cstsmapsplit is initialized as I showed before.

The issue extends also to the response parameters (caldb, irf, expcube, psfcube, ...), since they are not queried if the response is already specified in the observation container.

There is no way to get the filename corresponding to a certain observation container and/or model, which is reasonable I think, since observations and models could also be created from scratch.
I could think about two possible solutions:

1. We could force cstsmapsplit to query the inobs and inmodel parameters, even if they are not necessary.
2. We could save the observations and models in a temporary file, which is then passed to the cttsmap commands. The same should be done also for the response parameters.

Any ideas/opinions?
