to_yamlet.numeric: Coerce Numeric to Yamlet Storage Format

In yamlet: Versatile Curation of Table Metadata

Coerce Numeric to Yamlet Storage Format

Description

Coerces numeric to yamlet storage format. By default, numeric values would be processed as character. But character values with a leading dash are ordinarily quoted, since in character context a leading dash could be mistaken for a yaml metacharacter. In the case of a numeric value, however, we can be fairly certain that, despite appearances, the dash if any is actually a negative sign. This method intends to leave negative numerics unquoted, like their positive counterparts.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'numeric'
