Description: Extends finite mixtures of quantile regressions (the
        'mixqr' package) with a concomitant-covariate, quantile-indexed
        mixing gate. The mixing probabilities follow a
        multinomial-logit model whose coefficients may depend on a
        separate set of gating covariates and on the quantile level, so
        that latent-class membership can change across the conditional
        distribution. This turns the location-varying mixing idea of
        Furno (2025) into a likelihood and EM object with proper
        standard errors on the gate. Estimation reuses the 'mixqr'
        component and error-density machinery; the gate is fit by a
        weighted multinomial-logistic M-step and reduces exactly to a
        constant gate when the gating model is an intercept only.
