#' function redcube
#' 
#' This function produces a reduced small count frequency hypercube for rounding.
#' 
#' @encoding UTF8
#' @noMd
#' 
#' @param A A data frame representing a micro dataset or a frequency count hypercube. The (first) columns
#'          define the variables. If A is a hypercube the last column contains the number of units in each cell.
#'          If A is a micro dataset it is reduced to hypercube by the function aggrtab.
#' @param d A list d{[[j]]} whose elements are vectors of variable names from A defining marginal tables/cubes D
#'          of A that we are interested in.
#' @param b Rounding base. Counts in A less than b tat are contributing to counts less than b in the marginal 
#'          cubes D are selected from A. The selected dataframe is called B
#' @param micro Logical. TRUE if A is a micro dataset (default). FALSE if A i a frequency count hypercube.
#' @param nin Name of count variable if A is a hypercube. Default name: "n".
#'
#' @return
#'      A: The input dataframe reduced to a hypercube.
#'      
#'      B: The dataframe of small count rows selected from A.
#'      
#'      C: The dataframe of rows in A that are nor selected from A.
#'      
#'      D: The cubes defined by d.
#'      
#'      Dr: The small counts (<b) in D.
#'      
#'      The input elements d, b and nin
