success with GeographicLib C++ bindings

[mdsumner]

I just wanted to say that my very early experience with Claude AI in Agent mode has been very nice.

https://github.com/hypertidy/geographiclib

This package, bindings for GeographicLib which is a fantastic well designed library. I had made some part-working stubs (mostly MGRS and UTMUPS), and I just let the agent flesh these out into full interfaces, and then progressively gave it more control over additions using cpp1 (src/, R/, README, roxygen, and vendor-source mods) and it absolutely ate it up.

I would treat the package with a word of caution since there's more features than I can feasibly really check in detail ... but what I have checked and am already using is absolutely solid (I really need MGRS for Sentinel 2 imagery).

This is a wonderful way to work, and Positron integration is absolutely stellar - it's running on the same VM where I use RStudio Server and being able to seamlessly switch between these is also a huge advantage. Thanks!
