#' Directions from data cells to headers
#'
#' @description
#'
#' How to use functions with a `direction` parameter.
#'
#' Data cells relate to header cells by their proximity in a given direction.
#' The point of view is always *from* the data cell *to* the header. For
#' example, the direction `"up"` means "from each data cell go directly up to a
#' cell at the edge of the table, which is the header cell."
#'
#' Scroll down to the "Tables" section for a visual explanation.
#'
#' Legacy directions `"N"`, `"NNW", `"W"`, `"WNW"`, etc. are still supported.
#' Scroll down to the "Legacy directions" section for how they map to the new
#' directions.
#'
#' * `"up"` means from each data cell go directly up to a cell at the edge of
#' the the table, which is the header cell.
#' * `"up-left"` means from each data cell go directly up to a cell at the edge
#' of the the table, then if the cell is blank go left until a cell that has a
#' value, which is the header cell.
#' * `"up-right"` means from each data cell go directly up to a cell at the edge
#' of the the table, then if the cell is blank go right until a cell that has a
#' value, which is the header cell.
#'
#' * `"left"` means from each data cell go directly left to a cell at the edge
#' of the the table, which is the header cell.
#' * `"left-up"` means from each data cell go directly left to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go up until a cell that has
#' a value, which is the header cell.
#' * `"left-down"` means from each data cell go directly left to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go down until a cell that
#' has a value, which is the header cell.
#'
#' * `"right"` means from each data cell go directly right to a cell at the edge
#' of the the table, which is the header cell.
#' * `"right-up"` means from each data cell go directly right to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go up until a cell that has
#' a value, which is the header cell.
#' * `"right-down"` means from each data cell go directly right to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go down until a cell that
#' has a value, which is the header cell.
#'
#' * `"down"` means from each data cell go directly down to a cell at the edge
#' of the the table, which is the header cell.
#' * `"down-left"` means from each data cell go directly down to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go left until a cell that
#' has a value, which is the header cell.
#' * `"down-right"` means from each data cell go directly down to a cell at the
#' edge of the the table, then if the cell is blank go right until a cell that
#' has a value, which is the header cell.
#'
#' @section -ish:
#'
#' The difference between `"up"` and `"up-ish"` (and similar pairs of directions)
#' is that `"up"` finds headers directly above the data cell, whereas `"up-ish"`
#' matches the nearest header, whether above-left, above-right or directly above
#' the data cell. This is useful for matching headers that are not aligned to
#' the edge of the data cells that they refer to. There can be a tie in the
#' directions `"up-ish"`, `"down-ish"`, `"left-ish"` and `"right-ish"` , causing
#' `NA`s to be returned in the place of header values. Avoid ties by using
#' [justify()] first to align header cells to the corner of the data cells they
#' describe.
#'
#' * `"up-ish"` means the closest cell at the top edge of the table without
#' crossing a border defined by the `border` parameter.
#' * `"left-ish"` means the closest cell at the left-hand edge of the table
#' without crossing a border defined by the `border` parameter.
#' * `"right-ish"` means the closest cell at the right-hand edge of the table
#' without crossing a border defined by the `border` parameter.
#' * `"down-ish"` means the closest cell at the bottom edge of the table without
#' crossing a border defined by the `border` parameter.
