`fread()` naming #601

Closed markfairbanks closed 2 years ago

markfairbanks commented 2 years ago

The CRAN version of tidytable currently exports fread.() and fwrite.().

fread.() returns a tidytable and fwrite.() is a simple wrapper around data.table::fwrite().

With "dotless" versions of tidyverse functions now added, what should these functions be named?

Options: 1) fread()/fwrite() 2) f_read()/f_write() 3) Something else?

@mattsams89 - any thoughts?

They're both wrappers, so I wouldn't see any issue with using fread() and fwrite().
