+splits such data into separate cells.  This package also includes functions to
+stack groups of columns and to reshape wide data, even when the data are
+\"unbalanced\"---something which @code{reshape} (from base R) does not handle,
+and which @code{melt} and @code{dcast} from @code{reshape2} do not easily
+handle.")
