		Aggregate Matrix Population Models // Aggregates matrix
		population models (MPMs) in both the lambda (stable growth
		rate) and R0 (net reproductive rate) frameworks, including
		standard and elasticity-consistent aggregators. Standard
		aggregation in the lambda framework maintains consistent lambda
		and stable stage distribution, while standard aggregation in
		the R0 framework maintains consistent R0 and cohort stable
		stage distribution. Elasticity-consistent aggregators maintain
		these same consistencies with respect to the chosen framework
		and additionally preserve consistent reproductive values in the
		lambda framework and cohort reproductive values in the R0
		framework. Aggregation can take the form of general-to-general
		MPM (mpm_aggregate) or Leslie-to-Leslie MPM (leslie_aggregate).
