In ordering: Test, Check, Verify, Investigate the Monotonic Properties of Vectors

#' @details 
#' 
#' `is_[strictly_]monotonic` determine the sort properties of `x`. 
#' 
#' 
#' This differes from [base::is.unsorted()] which should more properly be called
#' `is.increasing` since `base::is.unsorted(3:1) == TRUE`; `3:1` is obviously 
#' sorted. 
#' 
#' @note
#'   The behavior of this package is The functions [base::is.unsorted()] is perhaps misnamed and should properly be
#'   names `is_not_increasing` since `base::is.unsorted(3:1) == TRUE` after all
#'   vector 3,2,1 is sorted but not increasing.
