mx_to_ex

We follow the full chain of standard lifetable column calculations to translate <code>mx</code> to <code>ex</code>.

A set of all-cause and cause-specific life expectancy sensitivity and decomposition methods, including Arriaga (1984) <doi:10.2307/2061029>, others documented by Ponnapalli (2005) <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2005.12.7>, lifetable, numerical, and other algorithmic approaches such as Horiuchi et al (2008) <doi:10.1353/dem.0.0033>, or Andreev et al (2002) <doi:10.4054/DemRes.2002.7.14>.
