  Description     : Efficient manipulation of CIGAR strings

 CIGAR stands for Concise Idiosyncratic Gapped Alignment Report.
 CIGAR strings are found in the BAM files produced by most aligners
 and in the AIRR-formatted output produced by IgBLAST.
 The cigarillo package provides functions to parse and inspect CIGAR
 strings, trim them, turn them into ranges of positions relative to
 the "query space" or "reference space", and project positions or
 sequences from one space to the other. Note that these operations
 are low-level operations that the user rarely needs to perform
 directly. More typically, they are performed behind the scene by
 higher-level functionality implemented in other packages like
 Bioconductor packages GenomicAlignments and igblastr.
