Hello, I'm trying to use the `map` argument to `MakeADFun` to fix the values of an entire parameter vector. When I fix the entire vector using `NA` values, I get...

In `read_dhs_flat()`, replace `iotools::input.file()` with `vroom::vroom()` for reading fixed-width text files. `vroom::vroom` is _much faster_ and memory efficient. Makes all parsing faster and improves ability to read very large datasets...
