Is CRAN on the horizon? #39

Not in the short term, in some places the code is a mess and I'd like to sort it out first, I think I should get to it though. I was also thinking that dplyr would tackle this and didn't want to work for nothing, but they didn't and just released a major version so maybe I need to step back in.

I had stopped working on it because it worked for my purpose and I wasn't seeing much demand.

Any lurker seeing this please apply the emoji of your choice so I can see if there's demand and act accordingly.

If I do it, count a couple months to be safe.
