The package is very useful in some areas so I think we should encourage domain-specific functions to be written, e.g. oe_get_cycleways() to get cycleways with the appropriate query. However, such functions are best suited to packages that build on osmextract which I think should be kept to generic functionality to avoid mission creep.
Proposed solution: vignette documenting how to write functions that extend osmextract, e.g. based on a hypothetical package called osmcycleinfra.
