Piecewise Linear Budget Constraints

This package can be used to generate a complete two-dimensional budget constraint for some unit
(person, benefit-unit, household, etc.) for some tax-benefit system. That is, a
list points describing the combinations of net income that the unit would get for different values of gross income (or hours worked, wages, etc.). The package takes a user-defined calculator function, and identifies all the points of discontinuity to a high degree of accuracy, even if the system being modelled has large discontinuities (as is common in fiscal systems).

Here is a live example of this algorithm in action.
