warn_if_sep_mismatch R Documentation
Warn when a separator likely failed to split a multi-entity column
Description
Splitting with the wrong separator silently yields one "entity" per row
(e.g., a whole author byline as a single node). Heuristic: no row split
into more than one entity, yet most non-empty strings contain a common
structural delimiter.
Usage
warn_if_sep_mismatch(col, parts, field, sep)
Details
Only structural delimiters (";", "|", tab) are considered, because
they essentially never occur inside a single legitimate label. Commas
and " and " are deliberately excluded: they appear inside valid
single values (e.g. "Last, First" author names, one-reference-per-row
citation strings, or organisations like "Smith and Sons"), so warning
on them would mislead users with correct data.
