rncl: An Interface to the Nexus Class Library

An interface to the Nexus Class Library which allows parsing of NEXUS, Newick and other phylogenetic tree file formats. It provides elements of the file that can be used to build phylogenetic objects such as ape's 'phylo' or phylobase's 'phylo4(d)'. This functionality is demonstrated with 'read_newick_phylo()' and 'read_nexus_phylo()'.
