Title: A Lightweight and Lightning-Fast Taxonomic Naming Interface
Description: Creates a local Lightning Memory-Mapped Database ('LMDB')
        of many commonly used taxonomic authorities and provides
        functions that can quickly query this data. Supported taxonomic
        authorities include the Integrated Taxonomic Information System
        ('ITIS'), National Center for Biotechnology Information
        ('NCBI'), Global Biodiversity Information Facility ('GBIF'),
        Catalogue of Life ('COL'), and Open Tree Taxonomy ('OTT'). Name
        and identifier resolution using 'LMDB' can be hundreds of times
        faster than either relational databases or internet-based
        queries. Precise data provenance information for data derived
        from naming providers is also included.
