Title: Classes for Storing and Manipulating Taxonomic Data
Description: Provides classes for storing and manipulating taxonomic
        data. Most of the classes can be treated like base R vectors
        (e.g. can be used in tables as columns and can be named).
        Vectorized classes can store taxon names and authorities, taxon
        IDs from databases, taxon ranks, and other types of
        information. More complex classes are provided to store
        taxonomic trees and user-defined data associated with them.
