Description: Provides a 'brms'-like interface for fitting Bayesian regression models 
    using 'INLA' (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximations) and 'TMB' (Template Model Builder). 
    The package offers faster model fitting while maintaining familiar 'brms' syntax and 
    output formats. Supports fixed and mixed effects models, multiple probability distributions, 
    conditional effects plots, and posterior predictive checks with summary methods compatible 
    with 'brms'. 'TMB' integration provides fast ordinal regression capabilities. Implements 
    methods adapted from 'emmeans' for marginal means estimation and 'bayestestR' for Bayesian 
    inference assessment. Methods are based on Rue et al. (2009) <doi:10.1111/j.1467-9868.2008.00700.x>, 
    Kristensen et al. (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v070.i05>, Lenth (2016) <doi:10.18637/jss.v069.i01>, 
    Bürkner (2017) <doi:10.18637/jss.v080.i01>, Makowski et al. (2019) <doi:10.21105/joss.01541>, 
    and Kruschke (2014, ISBN:9780124058880).
