sf package

[neocarto]

Are there any plans to add the sf package, which is the basis for all geographic analyses in R? It's probably complicated because there are some dependencies. But is it planned? Possible?

Preliminary work on this has begun in #214, initially building for Wasm some system dependencies required for geospatial analysis (GDAL, PROJ).

It will probably still be a long time until the sf package is usable in webR, but we think in principle it should be possible once we have enough of the required system dependencies available for linking under Wasm.

I just tested and works great!
