		Tools for Raster Grid Logic // Provides raster grid logic,
		operations that describe a discretized rectangular domain and
		do not require access to materialized data. Grids are arrays
		with dimension and extent, and many operations are functions of
		dimension only: number of columns, number of rows, or they are
		a combination of the dimension and the extent the range in x
		and the range in y in that order. Here we provide direct access
		to this logic without need for connection to any materialized
		data or formats. Grid logic includes functions that relate the
		cell index to row and column, or row and column to cell index,
		row, column or cell index to position. These methods are
		described in Loudon, TV, Wheeler, JF, Andrew, KP (1980)
		doi:10.1016/0098-3004(80)90015-1, and implementations were in
		part derived from Hijmans R (2024)
		doi:10.32614/CRAN.package.terra.
