Using stars (and possibly terra) for predictions

[btupper]

Hello,

We are starting to branch out a bit from using maxent via the dismo. We forked this repos so we could augment the functionality by permitting the use of raster data (specifically stars) in the predict.maxnet method. Of course, one thing leads to another, before we knew we have messed with a couple other of things, too I would like to make a pull request but I am concerned that it may feel like a headache from your end. I used roxygen-style documentation which none of the other functions/methods use.

• What are your thoughts on expanding the number of classes that predict will operate upon (we could add the same for terra SpatRaster class.)

• And what are your thoughts on mixed documentation styles?

The fork is here... https://github.com/BigelowLab/maxnet

I started to make a vignette but vignettes can have some graphics limits and result in a lot of Suggests in the DESCRIPTION, so I made an example notebook instead to keep the package lightweight.

Thanks,
Ben
