In adamlilith/fasterRaster: Faster Raster and Spatial Vector Processing Using 'GRASS GIS'

#' List objects in the active GRASS session
#'
#' Display the `sources` (see `sources()`) of all rasters and/or vectors that have been exported to or created in the active **GRASS** session"s location and mapset.
#'
#' @param type The type of spatial objects to display. This can include `"rasters"` (all rasters), `"vectors"` (all spatial vectors), `"rasters3d"` (3D-rasters), and/or `"groups"` (groups). Partial matching is supported. If missing, all objects are displayed.
#' 
#' @return Character vector of names of **GRASS** objects.
