+		'Rcpp' Bindings to Parser for Tom's Obvious Markup Language //
+		The configuration format defined by 'TOML' (which expands to
+		"Tom's Obvious Markup Language") specifies an excellent format
+		(described at https://toml.io/en/) suitable for both human
+		editing as well as the common uses of a machine-readable
+		format. This package uses 'Rcpp' to connect the 'cpptoml'
+		parser written by Chase Geigle (in C++11) to R.
