Description: Fast implementations of survey sampling algorithms for
    single-stage probability sampling from finite populations,
    written in C.
    Provides equal probability methods (simple random sampling,
    systematic, Bernoulli), unequal probability methods (conditional
    Poisson / maximum entropy, Sampford, Brewer, systematic PPS, Pareto,
    sequential Poisson, Poisson, Chromy's minimum replacement,
    multinomial), balanced sampling via the cube method, and
    spatially balanced sampling via the local pivotal method and
    spatially correlated Poisson sampling.
    All sampling functions return design objects carrying sample
    indices, inclusion probabilities, and design metadata. Generics
    compute joint inclusion probabilities, pairwise expectations, and
    sampling covariances for variance estimation. Mostly based on
    algorithms from Tillé (2006, <doi:10.1007/0-387-34240-0>).
