In vincentarelbundock/countrycode: Convert Country Names and Country Codes

#' Convert country codes or country names
#'
#' The \code{countrycode} function can convert to and from several different
#' country coding schemes.  It uses regular expressions to convert country
#' names (e.g. Sri Lanka) into any of those coding schemes, or into
#' standardized country names in several languages.  It can create variables
#' with the name of the continent and/or several regional groupings to which
#' each country belongs.
#'
#' Type ?codelist to get a list of available origin and destination
#' codes.
