Description: One small vocabulary for seeing what is in a JSON document
        and getting a table out of it, spelled the same way in R and in
        Python. You point it at a document you have never seen and it
        reports whether the file is sound, what shapes it holds, and
        what one row could be, with every candidate priced. Output is
        proportional to the structure rather than to the data, so a 912
        MB file and a 12 KB file produce descriptions of similar size.
        The package is a thin wrapper around the 'fathom' engine, which
        it invokes as a subprocess; the engine is compiled and bundled
        at install time, so an installed copy is self-contained and
        needs nothing else.
