#' Ids based on a number of adjectives and an animal
#'
#' The list of adjectives and animals comes from
#' \url{https://github.com/a-type/adjective-adjective-animal}, and in
#' turn from \url{gfycat.com}
#'
#' @title Ids based on a number of adjectives and an animal
#' @param n_adjectives Number of adjectives to prefix the anmial with
#'
#' @param max_len The maximum length of a word part to include (this
#'   may be useful because some of the names are rather long.  This
#'   stops you generating a
#'   \code{hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic_queenalexandrasbirdwingbutterfly}).
#'   A vector of length 2 can be passed in here in which case the
#'   first element will apply to the adjectives (all of them) and the
#'   second element will apply to the animals.

#' # Generate a random identifier:
#' adjective_animal()
#'
#' # Generate a bunch all at once:
#' adjective_animal(5)
#'
#' # Control the style of punctuation with the style argument:
#' adjective_animal(style = "lower")
#' adjective_animal(style = "CONSTANT")
#' adjective_animal(style = "camel")
#' adjective_animal(style = "kebab")
#'
#' # Control the number of adjectives used
#' adjective_animal(n_adjectives = 3)

#' # This can get out of hand quickly though:

#' # Limit the length of adjectives and animals used:
#' adjective_animal(10, max_len = 6)
