Some general guidelines

  1. Functions are intended to support labelled metadata structures only. However, to_labelled() method allows to convert metadata from foreign and memisc packages.
  2. Functions should, by default, modify metadata only (i.e. classes and attributes), except if explicitly expressed by the user.
