- 'getSeries' gets a new argument 'column1.only',
with default TRUE (which matches the current
behaviour). If FALSE, the function keeps
additional columns, which exist in some datasets
and typically contain comments and notes.
- check for additional headers in data-series files
(following a report by Benedict Acton-Bond)

- getSeries: protect Examples against failed downloads.
(The function has been returning NULL in such cases for
many years, which is now also documented.)
The Bundesbank apparently implemented measures against
non-interactive use at the end of September 2023, which
require a browser with cookies and javascript enabled.
Should this change to the Bundesbank's website become
permanent, the current download mechanism will be broken.

- support real-time data sets
- getSeries gains new arguments 'return.class' (with
support for "list", "zoo" and "data.frame"),
'verbose', and 'dest.dir' (which allows caching of
downloaded data sets). The default for
'return.class' is "data.frame"; for the behaviour
of previous versions, use NULL or "list".
