Is this behavior intended? It's not documented in the examples.

fct_recode(letters, "vowel" = c("a", "e", "i", "o", "u"))
##  [1] vowel1 b      c      d      vowel2 f      g      h      vowel3 j      k      l     
## [13] m      n      vowel4 p      q      r      s      t      vowel5 v      w      x     
## [25] y      z     
## Levels: vowel1 b c d vowel2 f g h vowel3 j k l m n vowel4 p q r s t vowel5 v w x y z

If not, we should warn/throw, and perhaps direct the user to fct_collapse().

This now throws an error, but the error message does not mention that fct_collapse() could probably do what the user wants. Should this be added?

Yeah, the help pages of fct_recode() and fct_collapse() could use some love. I'm not sure if the error message should mention this -- only if fct_collapse() is the only possible interpretation of the user's intention.
