#' Google place autocomplete
#'
#' The Place Autocomplete service is a web service that returns place predictions
#' in response to an HTTP request. The request specifies a textual search string
#' and optional geographic bounds. The service can be used to provide autocomplete
#' functionality for text-based geographic searches, by returning places such as
#' businesses, addresses and points of interest as a user types.
#'
#' @param place_input \code{string} The text string on which to search.
#' The Place Autocomplete service will return candidate matches based on this
#' string and order results based on their perceived relevance.
#' @param location \code{numeric} vector of latitude/longitude coordinates (in that order)
#' the point around which you wish to retrieve place information
#' @param radius \code{numeric} The distance (in meters) within which to return
#' place results. Note that setting a radius biases results to the indicated area,
#' but may not fully restrict results to the specified area
#' @param language \code{string} The language code, indicating in which language
#' the results should be returned, if possible. Searches are also biased to the
#' selected language; results in the selected language may be given a higher ranking.
#' See the list of supported languages and their codes
#' \url{https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#languagesupport}
#' @param place_type \code{string} Restricts the results to places matching the
#' specified type. Only one type may be specified (if more than one type is provided,
#' all types following the first entry are ignored). For a list of valid types,
#' please visit \url{https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/autocomplete}
#' @param components \code{string} of length 1 which identifies a grouping of places
#' to which you would like to restrict your results. Currently, you can use
#' components to filter by country only. The country must be passed as a two
#' character, ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 compatible country code.
#' For example: components=country:fr would restrict your results to places within France.
#' @param simplify \code{logical} - TRUE indicates the returned JSON will be
#' coerced into a list. FALSE indicates the returend JSON will be returned as a string
#' @param curl_proxy a curl proxy object
#' @param key \code{string} A valid Google Developers Places API key
