In nlrx: Setup, Run and Analyze 'NetLogo' Model Simulations from 'R' via 'XML'

#' Import NetLogo Experiment
#'
#' @description Import NetLogo Experiment from export_nl
#'
#' @param tarfile Path to tarfile that contains files to run NetLogo experiment
#' @param targetdir Path to folder where the experiments gets extracted
#' @param new_session If TRUE, opens a new RStudio Session with an Rproj
#'
#' @return The status value returned by the external command, invisibly.
#'
#' @details
#'
#' Imports NetLogo experiments that were saved with `export_nl`.
#' If the folder comes with an .Rproj file (which is recommended because
#' relative paths enhance the reproducability of your analysis),
#' `import_nl` opens this project and loads the nl object in your R environment.
