Arguments

x	[character] User provided argument to match.
choices	[character()] Candidates to match x with.
several.ok	[logical(1)] If TRUE, multiple matches are allowed, cf. match.arg.
.var.name	[character(1)] Name of the checked object to print in error messages. Defaults to the heuristic implemented in vname.
add	[AssertCollection] Collection to store assertions. See AssertCollection.

Value

Subset of choices.
