Description: Perform fuzzy joins on data frames using approximate string
    matching. Implements inner, left, right, full, semi, and anti joins with
    string distance metrics from the 'stringdist' package, including Optimal
    String Alignment, Levenshtein, Damerau-Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler, q-gram,
    cosine, Jaccard, and Soundex. Uses a 'data.table' backend plus compiled
    'C++' result assembly to reduce overhead in large joins, while adaptive
    candidate planning avoids unnecessary distance evaluations in single-column
    string joins. Suitable for reconciling misspellings, inconsistent labels,
    and other near-match identifiers while optionally returning the computed
    distance for each match. Bibliographic references include the 'stringdist'
    package documentation (2014) <https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=stringdist>
    and Robinson, D. (2015) <https://github.com/dgrtwo/fuzzyjoin>.
