#' Throw an Error, Warning, or Message
#'
#' These functions are similar to [stop()]/[cli::cli_abort()], [warning()]/[cli::cli_warn()], and [message()]/[cli::cli_inform()], throwing an error, warning, and message, respectively. Minor processing is done to capitalize the first letter of the message, add a period at the end (if it makes sense to), and add information about the calling function.
#'
#' @param m the message to be displayed, passed to the `message` argument of [rlang::abort()], [rlang::warn()], or [rlang::inform()].
#' @param .call the execution environment of a currently running function, e.g. `.call = rlang::current_env()`. The corresponding function call is retrieved and mentioned in error messages as the source of the error. See the `call` argument of [rlang::abort()] for details. Set to `NULL` to omit call information. The default is to search along the call stack for the first user-facing function in another package, if any.
#' @param .envir the environment to evaluate the glue expressions in. See [rlang::abort()] for details. Typically this does not need to be changed.
#' @param immediate whether to output the warning immediately (`TRUE`, the default) or save all warnings until the end of execution (`FALSE`). See [warning()] for details. Note that the default here differs from that of `warning()`.
#'
#' @details
#' These functions are simple wrappers for the corresponding functions in \pkg{rlang}, namely [rlang::abort()] for `err()`, [rlang::warn()] for `wrn()`, and [rlang::inform()] for `msg()`, but which function almost identically to the \pkg{cli} versions. Their main differences are that they additionally process the input (capitalizing the first character of the message and adding a period to the end if needed, unless multiple strings are provided). `err()` is used inside all `arg_*()` functions in \pkg{arg}.
#'
#' @return
#' `err()` throws an error condition. `wrn()` throws a warning condition and invisibly returns the formatted warning message as a string. `msg()` signals a message and invisibly returns `NULL`.

#' * \pkg{rlang} versions: [rlang::abort()], [rlang::warn()], [rlang::inform()]
#' * \pkg{cli} versions: [cli::cli_abort()], [cli::cli_warn()], [cli::cli_inform()]
