Sorry - one last thing before release if I'm not too late! Should we also replace usage of vars() with c() (or bare symbol in case of single column) in the README and in vignettes? I realize that I only applied this to examples in function docs in #496.

I think this should be a simple case of find and replace. I can take a stab at this and see if it's indeed just a quick fix.

That would be great! I could then merge main into this release branch.

There’s time because I found from revdep checks that another package, intendo, fails because of a removed reexported function it uses from pointblank. I made the fix in intendo (my package) and I’ll submit that to CRAN and then get back to releasing pointblank!

^^ the other package is updated on CRAN now.
