use_data_table

<code>use_data_table()</code> imports the <code>data.table()</code> function from the data.table
package, as well as several important symbols: <code>:=</code>, <code>.SD</code>, <code>.BY</code>, <code>.N</code>,
<code>.I</code>, <code>.GRP</code>, <code>.NGRP</code>, <code>.EACHI</code>. This is a minimal setup to get <code>data.table</code>s
working with your package. See the <a href="https://rdatatable.gitlab.io/data.table/articles/datatable-importing.html">importing data.table</a>
vignette for other strategies. In addition to importing these function,
<code>use_data_table()</code> also blocks the usage of data.table in the <code>Depends</code> field
of the <code>DESCRIPTION</code> file; <code>data.table</code> should be used as an imported or
suggested package only. See this
<a href="https://github.com/Rdatatable/data.table/issues/3076">discussion</a>.

Automate package and project setup tasks that are
otherwise performed manually. This includes setting up unit testing,
test coverage, continuous integration, Git, 'GitHub', licenses,
'Rcpp', 'RStudio' projects, and more.
