I see that codify throws an error if the values specified in the date argument aren't of class "Date". However I didn't see anywhere in the documentation information for the user specifying that dates need to be formatted specially. Typically when I read clinical data into R I end up with date columns that are formatted as character and so I would need to convert them to use these functions, so it might be worthwhile to include this detail somewhere.

Review: Good point! This is now specified!
