get_cansim_table_template

A table template consists of the dimensions and members and coordinates of a table that can be used to explore
and filter table data before downloading subsets of the table. To add vector Ids to (a possibly filtered) template
the `add_cansim_vectors_to_template` function can be used.

Searches for, accesses, and retrieves Statistics Canada data
tables, as well as individual vectors, as tidy data frames.
This package enriches the tables with metadata, deals
with encoding issues, allows for bilingual English or French language data retrieval, and bundles
convenience functions to make it easier to work with retrieved table data. For more efficient data
access the package allows for caching data in a local database and database level filtering, data
manipulation and summarizing.
