st: New command -xtmissingfill- for filling in missing values and balancing a panel

Dear all,
Greetings! A new command -xtmissingfill- has been released to balance
a panel and fill in missing values with several replace options. I
came across parts of code in the Stata tips, Statalist archives, and
online websites and decided to combine ideas together into a single
command.
To install -xtmissingfill-, view its help file, and load in the
example dataset, type:
. ssc install xtmissingfill
. help xtmissingfill
. use "http://repec.org/bocode/m/municipality.dta";, clear
. save "municipality.dta", replace
Be sure you do not have a dataset with the same name in your present
working directory before running the last line. You will also need
-tsspell- to replace with linear interpolations.
This is my first command submitted to SSC so feedback is appreciated
and will try to be incorporated into subsequent releases.
