abstract: Provides clean, tidy access to statistical data published by the 'European
  Central Bank' ('ECB') via the 'ECB Data Portal' API <https://data.ecb.europa.eu>.
  Covers policy interest rates, 'EURIBOR', euro exchange rates, harmonised consumer
  price inflation ('HICP'), euro area yield curves, the euro short-term rate ('ESTR'),
  monetary aggregates (M1, M2, M3), mortgage and lending rates, GDP, unemployment,
  and government debt-to-GDP. Each dataset has a dedicated function that abstracts
  away the underlying 'SDMX' key structure, so users do not need to know series codes.
  A generic fetcher is also provided for direct access to any of the 'ECB' 100-plus
  dataflows. Data is downloaded on first use and cached locally for subsequent calls.
