Lookup function signature

[marcolarosa]

Don't use positional arguments as in:

function lookupA(packname, find) {}

lookupA('glottolog', 'noongar')
packName = glottolog, find = noongar

lookupA('noongar', 'glottolog')
packName = noongar, find = glottolog

Do you a destructured object

unction lookupB({ packName, find, fields=['@id', 'name'] }) { }

lookupB({packName: 'glott0', find: 'noongar'})
lookupB({
    find: "noongar", packName: "glotto"
});

// by default - lookup @id and name fields

lookupB({
    find: "noongar",
    packName: "glotto",
    fields: ['alternateName']
});

So the main find method will need to be a for (lookup forEach) loop inside the main body that iterates over the properties in the field array.

the function in lookup.js has now a destructured object as argument
