Base Objects like Data Frames for 'SciViews::R'

{svBase} sets up the way data frames (with objects like R base's data.frame, data.table and tibble tbl_df) are managed in SciViews. The user can select the class of object it uses by default and many other SciViews functions return that format. Also conversion from one to the other is smoothed, including for the management of data.frame's row names or data.table's keys. Also homogeneous ways to create a data frame or to print it are also provided.
