regextable 0.1.2

New Features

• Typo Correction: Added typo_table, typo_from_col, and typo_to_col parameters to extract(). Text replacements are applied sequentially prior to pattern matching using strict word boundaries ('\b').
• Unique Matching: Added unique_match to stop after the first match per row for faster performance when only one match is expected.
• Named Entity Recognition (NER): Added optional NER validation via spacyr (use_ner). Added the ner_timing parameter to control whether validation happens "after" regex matching (post-match validation) or "before" (restricting regex searches only to pre-extracted entities). Matches are filtered by specified entity types using ner_entity_types (e.g., "ORG", "PERSON").
