#'
#' `pretty_mctq()` helps you to transform your Munich ChronoType Questionnaire
#' (MCTQ) data in many ways. See the Arguments and Details section to learn
#' more.

#' @details
#'
#' ## Rounding
#'
#' Please note that by rounding MCTQ values you discard data. That is to say
#' that if you need to redo a computation, or do new ones, your values can be
#' off by a couple of seconds (see
#' [round-off error](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round-off_error)).
#'
#' Round your values only if and when you want to present them more clearly,
#' like in graphical representations. You can also round values to facilitate
#' data exporting to text formats (like `.csv`), but note that this will come
#' with a precision cost.
#'
#' Note also that `pretty_mctq()` uses [`round()`][base::round()] for rounding,
#' which uses uses the IEC 60559 standard (_"go to the even digit"_) for
#' rounding off a 5. Therefore, `round(0.5)` is equal to 0 and `round(-1.5)` is
#' equal to -2. See [`?round`][base::round()] to learn more.
#'
#' @param data A [`data.frame`][base::data.frame()] object.
#' @param round (optional) a [`logical`][base::logical()] value indicating if
#'   [`Duration`][lubridate::duration()] and [`hms`][hms::hms()] objects must be
#'   rounded at the seconds level (default: `TRUE`).
#' @param hms (optional) a [`logical`][base::logical()] value indicating if
#'   [`Duration`][lubridate::duration()] and [`difftime`][base::as.difftime()]
#'   objects must be converted to [`hms`][hms::hms()] (default: `TRUE`).
#'
#' @return A transformed [`data.frame`][base::data.frame()] object, as indicated
#'   in the arguments.
