#' Moving average windows
#'
#' @description Smooth numeric series with a moving average windows.
#'
#' @param x data frame (or tibble) with class \code{Date} or
#' \code{POSIX*} in the first column.
#' @param col_name string vector with the column(s) name(s) of the series to smooth. The default value
#' uses the \code{'last'} column. Another single string choice is to use \code{'all'}.
#' Is important to keep in mind that this argument \bold{commands}, so if you provide two columns
#' names, \code{k} and \code{pos} arguments must be of length two; if not the single value will
#' be recycled.
#' @param k numeric vector with the windows size. E.g.: \code{k = 5}.
#' @param pos string vector with the position of the windows: \itemize{
#'      \item 'c': center (default). The output value is in the middle of the window.
#'      \item 'l': left aligned. The output value is on the left, so the function weights
#'      the \code{(k - 1)} values at the right side.
#'      \item 'r': right aligned. The output value is on the right, so the function weights
#'      the \code{(k - 1)} values at the left side.
#' }
#' @param out_name optional. String vector with new column names. If you set it as \code{NULL}
#' the function will overwrite the original series.
#' @param from optional. String value for \code{'Date'} class or \code{POSIX*} class for date-time
#'  data containing the starting \code{Date}.
#' @param to optional. String value for \code{'Date'} class or \code{POSIX*} class for date-time
#'  data containing the ending \code{Date}.
#'
#' @return The same data frame but with the smooth series.
