#' Create a Project Template
#'
#' Create a project template. See
#' \url{https://rstudio.github.io/rstudio-extensions/rstudio_project_templates.html}
#' for more information.
#'
#' @param package The path to an \R package sources.
#' @param binding The \R skeleton function to associate with this project
#'   template. This is the name of the function that will be used to initialize
#'   the project.
#' @param title The title to be shown within the \strong{New Project...} wizard.
#' @param subtitle (optional) The subtitle to be shown within the \strong{New Project...} wizard.
#' @param caption (optional) The caption to be shown on the landing page for this template.
#' @param icon (optional) The path to an icon, on disk, to be used in the dialog. Must be an
#'   \code{.png} of size less than 64KB.
#' @param open_files (optional) Files that should be opened by RStudio when the project is
#'   generated. Shell-style globs can be used to indicate when multiple files
#'   matching some pattern should be opened -- for example,  OpenFiles: R/*.R
#'   would indicate that RStudio should open all .R files within the R folder of
#'   the generated project.
#' @param overwrite Boolean; overwrite a pre-existing template file if one exists?
#' @param edit Boolean; open the file for editting after creation?
#' @export
