#' @title Balance Statistics for Other Objects
#'
#' @description Generates balance statistics using an object for which there is not a defined method.
#'
#' @inheritParams bal.tab
#' @param x An object containing information about conditioning. See Details.
#' @param ... other arguments that would be passed to [bal.tab.formula()], [bal.tab.data.frame()], or [bal.tab.time.list()]. See Details.
#'
#' @returns
#' For point treatments, if clusters and imputations are not specified, an object of class `"bal.tab"` containing balance summaries for the specified treatment and covariates. See [bal.tab()] for details.
#'
#' If clusters are specified, an object of class `"bal.tab.cluster"` containing balance summaries within each cluster and a summary of balance across clusters. See [`class-bal.tab.cluster`] for details.
#'
#' If imputations are specified, an object of class `"bal.tab.imp"` containing balance summaries for each imputation and a summary of balance across imputations, just as with clusters. See [`class-bal.tab.imp`] for details.
#'
#' If multi-category treatments are used, an object of class `"bal.tab.multi"` containing balance summaries for each pairwise treatment comparison and a summary of balance across pairwise comparisons. See [`bal.tab.multi()`][class-bal.tab.multi] for details.
#'
#' If longitudinal treatments are used, an object of class `"bal.tab.msm"` containing balance summaries at each time point. Each balance summary is its own `bal.tab` object. See [`class-bal.tab.msm`] for more details.
#'
#' @details
#' `bal.tab.default()` processes its input and attempt to extract enough information from it to display covariate balance for `x`. The purpose of this method is to allow users who have created their own objects containing conditioning information (i.e., weights, subclasses, treatments, covariates, etc.) to access the capabilities of `bal.tab()` without having a special method written for them. By including the correct items in `x`, `bal.tab.default()` can present balance tables as if the input was the output of one of the specifically supported packages (e.g., \pkg{MatchIt}, \pkg{twang}, etc.).
#'
#' The function will search `x` for the following named items and attempt to process them:
#' \describe{
#' \item{`treat`}{A vector (`numeric`, `character`, `factor`) containing the values of the treatment for each unit or the name of the column in `data` containing them. Essentially the same input to `treat` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`treat.list`}{A list of vectors (`numeric`, `character`, `factor`) containing, for each time point, the values of the treatment for each unit or the name of the column in `data` containing them. Essentially the same input to `treat.list` in [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`covs`}{A `data.frame` containing the values of the covariates for each unit. Essentially the same input to `covs` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`covs.list`}{A list of `data.frame`s containing, for each time point, the values of the covariates for each unit. Essentially the same input to `covs.list` in [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`formula`}{A `formula` with the treatment variable as the response and the covariates for which balance is to be assessed as the terms. Essentially the same input to `formula` in [bal.tab.formula()].
#' }
#' \item{`formula.list`}{A list of `formula`s with, for each time point, the treatment variable as the response and the covariates for which balance is to be assessed as the terms. Essentially the same input to `formula.list` in [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`data`}{A `data.frame` containing variables with the names used in other arguments and components (e.g., `formula`, `weights`, etc.). Essentially the same input to `data` in [bal.tab.formula()], [bal.tab.data.frame()], or [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`weights`}{A vector, list, or `data.frame` containing weights for each unit or a string containing the names of the weights variables in `data`. Essentially the same input to `weights` in [bal.tab.data.frame()] or [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`distance`}{
#' A vector, formula, or data frame containing distance values (e.g., propensity scores) or a character vector containing their names. If a formula or variable names are specified, `bal.tab()` will look in the argument to `data`, if specified. Essentially the same input to `distance` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`formula.list`}{A list of vectors or `data.frame`s containing, for each time point, distance values (e.g., propensity scores) for each unit or a string containing the name of the distance variable in `data`. Essentially the same input to `distance.list` in [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`subclass`}{A vector containing subclass membership for each unit or a string containing the name of the subclass variable in `data`. Essentially the same input to `subclass` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`match.strata`}{A vector containing matching stratum membership for each unit or a string containing the name of the matching stratum variable in `data`. Essentially the same input to `match.strata` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`estimand`}{A `character` vector; whether the desired estimand is the "ATT", "ATC", or "ATE" for each set of weights. Essentially the same input to `estimand` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`s.weights`}{A vector containing sampling weights for each unit or a string containing the name of the sampling weight variable in `data`. Essentially the same input to `s.weights` in [bal.tab.data.frame()] or [bal.tab.time.list()].
#' }
#' \item{`focal`}{The name of the focal treatment when multi-category treatments are used. Essentially the same input to `focal` in [bal.tab.data.frame()].
#' }
#' \item{`call`}{A `call` object containing the function call, usually generated by using [match.call()] inside the function that created `x`.
#' }
#' }
#' Any of these items can also be supplied directly to `bal.tab.default`, e.g., `bal.tab.default(x, formula = treat ~ x1 + x2)`. If supplied, it will override the object with the same role in `x`. In addition, any arguments to [bal.tab.formula()], [bal.tab.data.frame()], and [bal.tab.time.list()] are allowed and perform the same function.
#'
#' At least some inputs containing information to create the treatment and covariates are required (e.g., `formula` and `data` or `covs` and `treat`). All other arguments are optional and have the same defaults as those in [bal.tab.data.frame()] or [bal.tab.time.list()]. If `treat.list`, `covs.list`, or `formula.list` are supplied in `x` or as an argument to `bal.tab.default()`, the function will proceed considering a longitudinal treatment. Otherwise, it will proceed considering a point treatment.
#'
#' `bal.tab.default()`, like other `bal.tab()` methods, is just a shortcut to supply arguments to `bal.tab.data.frame()` or `bal.tab.time.list()`. Therefore, any matters regarding argument priority or function are described in the documentation for these methods.
