Description: Provides spatially survey balanced designs. Information
        about the package itself is given in Foster (2021)
        <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13535>. Designs using MBHdesign can: 1)
        accommodate, without substantial detrimental effects on spatial
        balance, legacy sites (Foster et al., 2017
        <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.12782>); 2) be based on points or
        transects (foster et al. 2020 <doi:10.1111/2041-210X.13321> and
        produce clustered samples (Foster et al. (in press). The base
        idea that these designs stem from is the quasi-random number
        method described Robinson et al. (2013)
        <doi:10.1111/biom.12059> and adjusted in Robinson et al. (2017)
        <doi:10.1016/j.spl.2017.05.004>.
