#' @title Get PWFSLSmoke monitoring data
#' 
#' @description Loads recent PM2.5 monitoring data from the US Forest Service
#' Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Lab. This function performs the same data 
#' loading step as \code{pwfsl_loadLatest()}, but has a shorter name for 
#' consistency with other data loading functions in the \code{AirSensor} 
#' package. By default, this function loads data from all 50 states for the past 
#' 10 days. 
#'
#' By default, this function is a wrapper around 
#' \code{PWFSLSmoke::monitor_loadLatest}. But it can also be used as a wrapper
#' around \code{PWFSLSmoke::monitor_load} by passing in arguments.
#' 
#' If you pass in arguments, \emph{e.g.} \code{starttime} and \code{endtime},
#' \code{PWFSLSmoke::monitor_load()} will be invoked. Otherwise,
#' \code{PWFSLSmoke::monitor_loadLatest()} will be invoked.
#' 
#' @param ... Arguments passed on to \code{PWFSLSmoke::monitor_load()}.
#' 
#' @return List with \code{meta} and \code{data} elements, a \emph{ws_monitor} 
#' object.
