In dataReporter: Reproducible Data Screening Checks and Report of Possible Errors

#' Set check arguments for makeDataReport
#' 
#' This function is a tool for easily specifying the \code{checks} argument of 
#' \code{\link{makeDataReport}}. Note that all available check function options can be inspected
#' by calling \code{allCheckFunctions()}. 
#' 
#' @param character A character vector of function names to be used as checks for character
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultCharacterChecks()}.
#' 
#' @param factor A character vector of function names to be used as checks for factor
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultFactorChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param labelled A character vector of function names to be used as checks for labelled
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultLabelledChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param haven_labelled A character vector of function names to be used as checks for haven_labelled
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultHavenlabelledChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param numeric A character vector of function names to be used as checks for numeric
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultNumericChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param integer A character vector of function names to be used as checks for integer
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultIntegerChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param logical  A character vector of function names to be used as checks for logical
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultLogicalChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param Date A character vector of function names to be used as checks for Date
#' variables. The default options are available by calling \code{defaultDateChecks()}. 
#' 
#' @param all A character vector of function names to be used as checks for all
#' variables. Note that this overrules the choices made for specific variable types by using
#' the other arguments.
#' 
#' @return A list with one entry for each data class supported by \code{makeDataReport}. Each
#' entry then contains a character vector of function names that are to be called as checks for
#' that variable type.
