basetable: Fast and Memory-Efficient Base R Table Manipulation

A tabular data manipulation, exploration and validation toolkit with a base R-style interface (subset, transform, aggregate, merge, split) and no external computation dependency. Grouping, joins, ordering, filtering, reshaping and delimited-file reading run in a bundled 'C++' engine that uses multiple threads for the heavier operations. Grouped reducers accumulate in compiled code without materialising intermediate columns, so grouped aggregation and counting allocate close to nothing. Results are returned as an ordinary data frame with a light 'basetable' class.
