		Discrete Log-Gaussian Cox Processes for Aggregated Disease Counts
		// Fits a spatially discrete approximation to a log-Gaussian
		Cox process model for spatially aggregated disease count data,
		estimated by Monte Carlo Maximum Likelihood as in Christensen
		(2004) doi:10.1198/106186004X2525 and Johnson, Diggle and
		Giorgi (2019) doi:10.1002/sim.8339. Performance-critical steps
		(aggregated correlation assembly, Metropolis-adjusted Langevin
		algorithm (MALA) sampling, the Monte Carlo likelihood, and the
		Kronecker-structured space-time likelihood) are implemented in
		C++ via 'RcppArmadillo'. Provides a one-line, 'glm'-like
		interface and statistical extensions including a nugget term,
		general 'Matern' smoothness, raster and misaligned covariates,
		restricted spatial regression, importance-sampling diagnostics
		and re-anchored Monte Carlo maximum likelihood (MCML).
