worrms-package function

The WoRMS REST API doesn't have sophisticated error messaging, so
most errors will result in a <code>(204) - No Content</code> or
in <code>(400) - Bad Request</code>
Because WoRMS doesn't do comprehensive error reporting, we do a fair
amount of checking user inputs to help prevent errors that will be
meaningless to the user. Let us know if we can improve on this.
