In basetable: Fast and Memory-Efficient Base R Table Manipulation

#' Base-Faithful Tabular Data Tools
#'
#' The \pkg{basetable} package provides a compact set of base-style data
#' manipulation and exploratory data analysis helpers backed by a native
#' C++ table engine.

#' @details
#' Core design rules:
#' \itemize{
#' \item exported data verbs take the main data object as their first argument
#' \item grouping is explicit with \code{by =}
#' \item outputs are plain data frames or lists in most cases
#' \item interfaces are intended to work naturally in nested calls and native
#' \code{|>} pipelines
