There are no examples and it is unclear that anyone could learn to use this from the documentation that is there.

What is the difference between fetchGapminder() and fetchGapminder1()?

rpruim commented 9 years ago

I'm inclined to remove this unless someone (@dtkaplan?) makes a compelling case to keep it and fixes the documentation so that it is useable.

This would be a candidate for moving into a separate package containing various fetchers.

If we build a package with various "fetchers", our old code can be recycled there.
