pkgutils is a set of functions for making writing R functions easier. The intention is to be included as a dependency in R packages and therefore is designed with the package author as the end user. The functions provided fall into 2 categories, those that focus on validating parameters for completeness and consistency of length, and those that focus on working with dataframe inputs which have multiple layers of grouping, or where a function may need to be configured to operate on different columns, or different column groups.
It is a maturing package and behaviour may evolve over time.
