I am not sure what data.table has to do with this package?

T145 commented 3 years ago

Just as a documentation fix. This helps raise awareness that a better alternative exists.

data.table doesn't work with R connections. The main purpose of this package is to provide an R connection into archives, so no, data.table wouldn't make much sense here.
