consider using data tables or tibbles instead of data.frame #19

Closed noerw closed 6 years ago

noerw commented 6 years ago

data.frame is known to be inconsistent, user-unfriendly and fiddly.

Switching to tibble makes the antipattern of overriding [ etc for each class obsolete. (tbl_df is used for osem_measurements already).

Will have to read more about tibbles before deciding.

Internally this is not worth a rewrite, and users should decide for them selves what to use. Transforming a sensebox data.frame into a tibble is as simple as tibble::as.tibble(df)
