@showteeth I see that you have released the package initially on CRAN, version 0.7.0, but it got removed again. Now with some additional work it should be possible to re-release it on CRAN. Are you up for this and, most importantly, responsive to the CRAN comments, emails etc that appear during the submission?

@showteeth version 1.4.0 is now merged, can be submitted to CRAN soon. Please get back to me with your comments, otherwise I can also try to submit next week.
