Nothing
#' Reshape (pivot) data from long to wide
#'
#' This function "widens" data, increasing the number of columns and decreasing
#' the number of rows. This is a dependency-free base-R equivalent of
#' `tidyr::pivot_wider()`.
#'
#' @param data A data frame to pivot.
#' @param id_cols The name of the column that identifies the rows. If `NULL`,
#' it will use all the unique rows.
#' @param names_from The name of the column that contains the levels to be
#' used as future column names.
#' @param names_prefix String added to the start of every variable name. This is
#' particularly useful if `names_from` is a numeric vector and you want to create
#' syntactic variable names.
#' @param names_sep If `names_from` or `values_from` contains multiple variables,
#' this will be used to join their values together into a single string to use
#' as a column name.
#' @param names_glue Instead of `names_sep` and `names_prefix`, you can supply a
#' [glue specification](https://glue.tidyverse.org/index.html) that uses the
#' `names_from` columns to create custom column names. Note that the only
#' delimiters supported by `names_glue` are curly brackets, `{` and `}`.
#' @param values_from The name of the column that contains the values to be used
#' as future variable values.
#' @param values_fill Optionally, a (scalar) value that will be used to replace
#' missing values in the new columns created.
#' @param verbose Toggle warnings.
#' @param ... Not used for now.
#' @param colnames_from Deprecated. Use `names_from` instead.
#' @param rows_from Deprecated. Use `id_cols` instead.
#' @param sep Deprecated. Use `names_sep` instead.
#'
#' @return If a tibble was provided as input, `reshape_wider()` also returns a
#' tibble. Otherwise, it returns a data frame.
