Tidying methods for lists / returned values that are not S3 objects

Description

Broom tidies a number of lists that are effectively S3 objects without a class attribute. For example, stats::optim(), base::svd() and interp::interp() produce consistent output, but because they do not have a class attribute, they cannot be handled by S3 dispatch.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'list'
tidy(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'list'
glance(x, ...)

Arguments

x	A list, potentially representing an object that can be tidied.
...	Additionally, arguments passed to the tidying function.

Details

These functions look at the elements of a list and determine if there is an appropriate tidying method to apply to the list. Those tidiers are themselves are implemented as functions of the form ⁠tidy_<function>⁠ or ⁠glance_<function>⁠ and are not exported (but they are documented!).

If no appropriate tidying method is found, throws an error.
