#' Control function for incidence rate
#'
#' @description `r lifecycle::badge("stable")`
#'
#' This is an auxiliary function for controlling arguments for the incidence rate, used
#' internally to specify details in `s_incidence_rate()`.
#'
#' @inheritParams argument_convention
#' @param conf_type (`string`)\cr `normal` (default), `normal_log`, `exact`, or `byar`
#'   for confidence interval type.
#' @param input_time_unit (`string`)\cr `day`, `week`, `month`, or `year` (default)
#'   indicating time unit for data input.
#' @param num_pt_year (`numeric(1)`)\cr number of patient-years to use when calculating adverse event rates.
#'
#' @return A list of components with the same names as the arguments.
