Interact with ISOcodes package?

Nice! One way to approach this would be to package a bunch of custom_dict data.frames, and to write think wrappers around countrycode. Essentially,

isocode = function(...) {
    countrycode(sourcevar, origin, destination, 
                custom_dict = countrycode::codelist_iso)
}

The latest version of countrycode supports ISO3166 (country codes) and ISO4127 (currencies).

I added a section to the README to explain how to use the custom_dict argument to use the remaining ISOcodes data, including the computer encodings character map and the language names. You can find these examples here:

This took a while. Sorry!
