#' @title Import PSL files to R
#'
#' @description Imports PSL files produced by a SUERC portable OSL reader into R **(BETA)**.
#'
#' @details This function provides an import routine for the SUERC portable OSL Reader PSL
#' format. PSL files are just plain text and can be viewed with any text editor.
#' Due to the formatting of PSL files this import function relies heavily on
#' regular expression to find and extract all relevant information. See **note**.
#'
#' @param file [character] (**required**):
#' path and file name of the PSL file. If input is a `vector` it should comprise
#' only `character`s representing valid paths and PSL file names.
#' Alternatively the input character can be just a directory (path). In this case the
#' the function tries to detect and import all PSL files found in the directory.
#'
#' @param drop_bg [logical] (*with default*):
#' `TRUE` to automatically remove all non-OSL/IRSL curves.
#'
#' @param as_decay_curve  [logical] (*with default*):
#' Portable OSL Reader curves are often given as cumulative light sum curves.
#' Use `TRUE` (default) to convert the curves to the more usual decay form.
#'
#' @param smooth [logical] (*with default*):
#' `TRUE` to apply Tukey's Running Median Smoothing for OSL and IRSL decay curves.
#' Smoothing is encouraged if you see random signal drops within the decay curves related
#' to hardware errors.
#'
#' @param merge [logical] (*with default*):
#' `TRUE` to merge all `RLum.Analysis` objects. Only applicable if multiple
#' files are imported.
#'
#' @param ... currently not used.
#'
#' @return
#' Returns an S4 [RLum.Analysis-class] object containing
#' [RLum.Data.Curve-class] objects for each curve.
#'
#' @seealso [RLum.Analysis-class], [RLum.Data.Curve-class], [RLum.Data.Curve-class]

#'
#' @section Function version: 0.0.2
#'
#' @note
#' Because this function relies heavily on regular expressions to parse
#' PSL files it is currently only in beta status. If the routine fails to import
#' a specific PSL file please report to `<christoph.burow@@gmx.net>` so the
#' function can be updated.
