Description: Perform fuzzy joins on data frames using approximate
        string matching. Implements inner, left, right, full, semi, and
        anti joins with string distance metrics from the 'stringdist'
        package, including Optimal String Alignment, Levenshtein,
        Damerau-Levenshtein, Jaro-Winkler, q-gram, cosine, Jaccard, and
        Soundex. Uses a 'data.table' backend plus compiled 'C++' result
        assembly to reduce overhead in large joins, while adaptive
        candidate planning avoids unnecessary distance evaluations in
        single-column string joins. Suitable for reconciling
        misspellings, inconsistent labels, and other near-match
        identifiers while optionally returning the computed distance
        for each match. Bibliographic references include Van der Loo,
