## Table mapping reference,constraints, etc. to ERGM Metropolis-Hastings proposals

### Description

This is a low-level function not intended to be called directly by end users. For information on Metropolis-Hastings proposal methods, ergm-proposals. This function sets up the table mapping constraints, references, etc. to `ergm_proposals`. Calling it with arguments adds a new row to this table. Calling it without arguments returns the table so far.

### Usage

    ergm_proposal_table(Class, Reference, Constraints, Priority, Weights, Proposal)

### Arguments

`Class` | default to "c"
`Reference` | The reference measure used in the model. For the list of reference measures, see `ergm-references`
`Constraints` | The constraints used in the model. For the list of constraints, see `ergm-constraints`. They are specified as a single string of text, with each contrast prefixed by either `&` for constraints that the proposal always enforces or `|` for constraints that the proposal can enforce if needed.
`Priority` | On existence of multiple qualifying proposals, specifies the priority (`-1`,`0`,`1`, etc.) of proposals to be used.
`Weights` | The sampling weights on selecting toggles (random, TNT, etc).
`Proposal` | The matching proposal from the previous arguments.

### Note

The arguments `Class`, `Reference`, and `Constraints` can have length greater than 1. If this is the case, the rows added to the table are a Cartesian product of their elements.
