resolve_feature_names

Names are resolved by checking for the first match using:<ol>
<li>case sensitive match, then</li>
<li>case sensitive match using aliases, then</li>
<li>case insensitive match, then</li>
<li>case insensitive match using aliases.</li>
</ol>

A tool for easily matching spatial data when you have a list of
place/region names. You might have a data frame that came from a
spreadsheet tracking some data by suburb or state. This package can
convert it into a spatial data frame ready for plotting. The actual map
data is provided by other packages (or your own code).
