Vector of `breal` instead of `bool`?

Hi Shimeng -- I don't think so! But BarnardFast is my own (unpublished) algorithm for computing many Barnard p-values at the same time. It can be useful if you want to calculate the curve of false-positive rates along the line of a composite null hypothesis. (E.g., what is the probability of getting p < .05 against equality if the true rates are both 0.02? Or 0.03? Or 0.04? Or 0.05? Etc.) This was used to make the graph on my web page (https://cs.stanford.edu/~keithw/ -- see the paragraph about the "exchange algorithm.")

Anyway, this is pretty esoteric stuff, and it's an unpublished algorithm -- you may want to just leave out the "BarnardFast" from your R package because I suspect it may just confuse people...
