Use tidyeval functionality

[mine-cetinkaya-rundel]

This is relevant to calculate but maybe others too, if any of those use underscore verbs from dplyr, which is now deprecated functionality.

Prototype for calculating for stat == "mean"

  if (stat == "mean") {
    col <- setdiff(names(x), "replicate")
    x %>%
      dplyr::group_by(replicate) %>%
      dplyr::summarize(stat = mean(!!sym(col)))
  }

Note that this requires importing the sym function from the rlang package, which dplyr currently does not import automatically.

Is someone up for updating the calculate function with this, or should I? We also need to resolve #15 and #16 to and all of the updates can be done at once.

I'll do this. Will give me a chance to play around with this new formulation.

Is there a way to have the stat in dplyr::summarize(stat = mean(!!sym(col))) be variable based on the statistic chosen using the tidyeval/rlang syntax? Having the column be named stat does work but I wonder about students being confused/forgetting, what the statistic was that they calculated.

Follow with %>% rename()?

@andrewpbray Can this be closed?
