# Infrastructure for auto-detecting design variables and supporting multi-factor designs.
# Single-factor models use the variable name "x"; multi-factor models use "x1", "x2", ...
# Detection is performed by inspecting the formula and excluding the response and parameters.


#' Detect design variables from a model formula
#'
#' @description
#' Inspects the formula to identify which symbols are design variables (as opposed to
#' parameters or the response).  Enforces the naming convention: \code{"x"} for
#' single-factor models and \code{"x1"}, \code{"x2"}, \ldots for multi-factor models.
#'
#' @param model A formula describing the model.
#' @param parameters Character vector of parameter names (excluded from design variables).
#'
#' @return Character vector of design variable names, sorted in numerical order for
#'   multi-factor models (e.g. \code{c("x1", "x2", "x10")}).
