In maposm: Get Map Layers from 'OpenStreetMap'

#' @title Package description
#' @name maposm
#' @description
#' The OpenStreetMap database provides a wide range of highly
#' detailed geographic layers on a global scale. To obtain synthetic
#' information for cartographic purposes, layers must be selected, simplified,
#' merged, or modified. `maposm` downloads OpenStreetMap extracts and performs
#' these operations to create a set of composite layers of urban areas,
#' buildings, green spaces, main roads, secondary roads, railways, and water
#' bodies.
#'
#' [om_get] is used to download, merge and simplify the geographic layers.\cr
#' [om_map] is used to map the layers. Several themes are available to map
#' the layers ("light", "dark", "grey" and "pizza").\cr
#' [om_write] can be used to write the layers to a geopackage file.\cr
#' [om_read] can be used to read these geopackages.
