across doesn't allow for a list with functions

[bnicenboim]

library(tidytable)

Using a list with functions does not work with across.

mean_var <- list(mean = ~ mean(., na.rm = TRUE),
                 var = ~ var(., na.rm = TRUE))
td <- tidytable(a = runif(100), b = runif(100))
td |>  summarize(across(everything(), mean_var))
#> Error in mean_var(a): could not find function "mean_var"

It works in dplyr:

td |> dplyr::summarize(across(everything(), mean_var))
#>      a_mean      a_var    b_mean      b_var
#> 1 0.4836208 0.07956486 0.4964107 0.07229442

Unfortunately passing a premade list to to across() is something that isn’t possible in tidytable and will always be a limitation of its implementation
