labelVector - Label Attributes for Atomic Vectors
Labels are a common construct in statistical software
providing a human readable description of a variable. While
variable names are succinct, quick to type, and follow a
language's naming conventions, labels may be more illustrative
and may use plain text and spaces. R does not provide native
support for labels. Some packages, however, have made this
feature available. Most notably, the 'Hmisc' package provides
labelling methods for a number of different object. Due to
design decisions, these methods are not all exported, and so
are unavailable for use in package development. The
'labelVector' package supports labels for atomic vectors in a
light-weight design that is suitable for use in other packages.
