rdtools: Efficient Manipulation of 'Rd' Files and Help Topics

Provides fast, cached lookup of help topics and aliases across installed, source, and in-development packages, plus efficient retrieval of parsed 'Rd' ('R' documentation) objects. Per-package indexes are built once and cached, making repeated retrieval cheap enough to call in a tight loop.

Version: 0.1.0
Depends: R (≥ 4.0)
Imports: stats, tools
Suggests: testthat (≥ 3.0.0), withr
