make information more consistent for glimpse() and print() methods? #280

It would be nice if the information displayed about tables was more consistent across print() and glimpse(). I have noticed these two differences:

  1. Currently, print() informs the user about any data groupings, but glimpse() does not

  2. Column names that contain special characters (e.g., white space) are displayed with back ticks by print() but not by glimpse(). If, for instance, a column name ends with a space, the user is only alerted to this potential problem if print() is used

Thanks. The first item requires a change in dplyr, could you please bring it up there? I'll add backticks for column names in glimpse().

- Escape factor levels when printing (#277).
- Adding columns to zero-row data frames now also works when mixing
lengths 1 and 0 in the new columns (#167).
- Non-syntactic names are now also escaped in `glimpse()` (#280).
- The `validate` argument is now also supported in `as_tibble.tbl_df()`,
with default to `FALSE` (#278).

Bug fixes
---------

- Values of length 1 in a `tibble()` call are recycled prior to evaluating subsequent arguments, improving consistency with `mutate()` (#213).
- Recycling of values of length 1 in a `tibble()` call maintains their class (#284).
- `add_row()` now always preserves the column data types of the input data frame the same way as `rbind()` does (#296).
- `lst()` now again handles duplicate names, the value defined last is used in case of a clash.
- Adding columns to zero-row data frames now also works when mixing lengths 1 and 0 in the new columns (#167).
- The `validate` argument is now also supported in `as_tibble.tbl_df()`, with default to `FALSE` (#278).  It must be passed as named argument, as in `as_tibble(validate = TRUE)`.

Formatting
----------

- `format_v()` now always surrounds lists with `[]` brackets, even if their length is one. This affects `glimpse()` output for list columns (#106).
- Factor levels are escaped when printing (#277).
- Non-syntactic names are now also escaped in `glimpse()` (#280).
- `tibble()` gives a consistent error message in the case of duplicate column names (#291).
