		Synthetic Control Changes-in-Changes Estimator // Implements the
		Changes-in-Changes (CIC) estimator of Athey and Imbens (2006)
		doi:10.1111/j.1468-0262.2006.00668.x combined with synthetic
		control methods. Provides both the continuous CIC estimator
		(Theorem 3.1) and the discrete CIC estimator (Theorem 4.1) for
		integer-valued outcomes, with analytic and bootstrap inference.
		Also provides nonparametric estimation of the entire
		counterfactual distribution of outcomes for a treated group,
		allowing evaluation of average, quantile, and distributional
		treatment effects. Synthetic control weights are constructed
		via elastic net regularization to handle settings with many
		potential control units.
