Check and set behaviour for lost tags

Description

This function determines the behaviour to adopt when tagged variables of a linelist are lost e.g. through subsetting. This is achieved using options defined for the linelist package.

Usage

quiet	a logical indicating if a message should be displayed; only used outside pipelines
x	deprecated

Details

The errors or warnings generated by linelist in case of tagged variable loss has a custom class of linelist_error and linelist_warning respectively.

Value

returns NULL; the option itself is set in options("linelist")
