In taxadb: A High-Performance Local Taxonomic Database Interface

#' Return a taxonomic table matching the requested ids
#'
#' @inheritParams filter_name
#' @param id taxonomic id, in prefix format
#' @param type id type.  Can be `taxonID` or `acceptedNameUsageID`,
#'  see details.
#'
#'
#' @details Use `type="acceptedNameUsageID"` to return all rows
#' for which this ID is the accepted ID, including both synonyms and
#' and accepted names (since both all synonyms of a name share the
#' same `acceptedNameUsageID`.) Use `taxonID` (default) to only return
#' those rows for which the Scientific name corresponds to the `taxonID.`
#'
#' Some providers (e.g. ITIS) assign taxonIDs to synonyms, most others
#' only assign IDs to accepted names.  In the latter case, this means
#' requesting `taxonID` will only match accepted names, while requesting
#' matches to the `acceptedNameUsageID` will also return any known synonyms.
#' See examples.
