Description

Can this module use the [Fuller projection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dymaxion_map)?

I did not see it in the docs so thought I should ask before trying to install, in case it does not, or deciding not to bother, in case it's just missing from the list.

If it's not available, has adding it been brought up anywhere? I've no idea how I would go about implementing it.

Research direction

Start by checking the Basemap documentation and its list of supported projections for any existing Fuller or Dymaxion entry. Then inspect how projections are represented in the module and identify what is required for this projection; done means the projection works and is documented.
