Description: Provides a drop-in replacement for rasterize() from the
        'raster' package that takes polygon vector or data frame
        objects, and is much faster. There is support for the main
        options provided by the rasterize() function, including setting
        the field used and background value, and options for
        aggregating multi-layer rasters. Uses the scan line algorithm
        attributed to Wylie et al. (1967)
        <doi:10.1145/1465611.1465619>. Note that repository originally
        was hosted at 'Github' 'ecohealthalliance/fasterize' but was
        migrated to 'hypertidy/fasterize' in March 2025, and can be
        found indexed on 'R universe'
