velox dependency about embarcadero

[cjcarlson]

I'm going to probably take out the part of the package that uses velox, and move it somewhere else. It throws enough maintenance issues for folks at this point I basically can't justify including it as a dependency for one convenience tool

I am also facing problems installing velox:

/Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Versions/4.0/Resources/library/BH/include/boost/geometry/core/coordinate_dimension.hpp:117:23: error: constexpr function's return type 'void' is not a literal type
constexpr inline void assert_dimension_greater_equal()
                      ^
fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=]
2 warnings and 20 errors generated.

Alright, the velox dependency is gone!
