gather() can use the convert argument to automagically recognise if gathered variable names should be stored as something different to a character vector, using type.convert().
Are there any plans to bring back that alternative to the precise, longer-form `names_ptypes` argument? Or did I miss an explanation why it shouldn't?
Maybe something like names_ptypes = "auto", maybe?
