Use vroom instead of data.table::fread for faster loading? #19

New package vroom out that is much faster than fread at mixed data (aka, not only numerical) and that also supports the wonderful features found in readr. Maybe switch over to vroom instead?

And also, thanks for the package :wink:

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll have a look at switching to vroom.
