In cboettig/taxald: A High-Performance Local Taxonomic Database Interface

#' get_names
#'
#' Translate identifiers into scientific names
#' @param id a list of taxonomic identifiers.
#' @inheritParams get_ids
#' @family get
#' @return a vector of names, of the same length as the input ids. Any
#' unmatched IDs will return as [NA]s.
#' @details
#' Like all taxadb functions, this function will run
#' fastest if a local copy of the provider is installed in advance
#' using `[td_create()]`.
#' @examples \donttest{
