fastymd: Fast Utilities for 'Year Month Day' Objects

A collection of utility functions for working with Year Month Day objects. Includes functions for fast parsing of numeric and character input based on algorithms described in Hinnant, H. (2021) <https://howardhinnant.github.io/date_algorithms.html> as well as a branchless calculation of leap years by Jerichaux (2025) <https://stackoverflow.com/a/79564914>.
