#' @title Create a progress bar with estimated time.
#'
#' @description
#' Create a progress bar function that displays the estimated time till
#' completion and optional messages. Call the returned functions \code{set} or
#' \code{inc} during a loop to change the display.
#' Note that you are not allowed to decrease the value of the bar.
#' If you call these function without setting any of the arguments
#' the bar is simply redrawn with the current value.
#' For errorhandling use \code{error} and have a look at the example below.
#'
#' You can globally change the behavior of all bars by setting the option
#' \code{options(BBmisc.ProgressBar.style)} either to \dQuote{text} (the default)
#' or \dQuote{off}, which display no bars at all.
#'
#' You can globally change the width of all bars by setting the option
#' \code{options(BBmisc.ProgressBar.width)}. By default this is \code{getOption("width")}.
#'
#' You can globally set the stream where the output of the bar is directed by setting the option
#' \code{options(BBmisc.ProgressBar.stream)} either to \dQuote{stderr} (the default)
#' or \dQuote{stdout}. Note that using the latter will result in the bar being shown in
#' reports generated by Sweave or knitr, what you probably do not want.
#'
#' @param min [\code{numeric(1)}]\cr
#'   Minimum value, default is 0.
#' @param max [\code{numeric(1)}]\cr
#'   Maximum value, default is 100.
#' @param label [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Label shown in front of the progress bar.
#'   Note that if you later set \code{msg} in the progress bar function,
#'   the message will be left-padded to the length of this label, therefore
#'   it should be at least as long as the longest message you want to display.
#'   Default is \dQuote{}.
#' @param char [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   A single character used to display progress in the bar.
#'   Default is \sQuote{+}.
#' @param style [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Style of the progress bar. Default is set via options (see details).
#' @param width [\code{integer(1)}]\cr
#'   Width of the progress bar. Default is set via options (see details).
#' @param stream [\code{character(1)}]\cr
#'   Stream to use. Default is set via options (see details).
#' @return [\code{\link{ProgressBar}}]. A list with following functions:
#'   \item{set [function(value, msg = label)]}{Set the bar to a value and possibly display a message instead of the label.}
#'   \item{inc [function(value, msg = label)]}{Increase the bar and possibly display a message instead of the label.}
#'   \item{kill [function(clear = FALSE)]}{Kill the bar so it cannot be used anymore. Cursor is moved to new line. You can also erase its display.}
#'   \item{error [function(e)]}{Useful in \code{tryCatch} to properly display error messages below the bar. See the example.}
