👋 @noamross - would this be a suitable submission for ROpenSci?

[noamross]

Thanks @arfon. I think this is out of scope for us, as it's a a generic data munging tool: https://github.com/ropensci/onboarding/blob/master/policies.md

OK thanks @noamross.

@karthik - you were suggested by the submitting author as an editor for this submission. Is that OK with you?

Hello again,
My reviewer suggestions are @jsta, @masalmon, @benmarwick and @cdcrabtree.
In reality, any avid R user would be appropriate, the package is quite general and easy to understand.
