#' Replace NAs in a data.table or data.frame column, or in a vector
#'
#' @description This function replaces `NA`s in one or more `data.table`, `data.frame`, or `matrix` columns, or in vectors, with a user-defined value.
#'
#' @param x A `data.table` or `data.frame` or `matrix`, or a vector of numeric, integer, logical, or character values.
#'
#' @param replace A value of any atomic class (numeric, integer, character, Date, etc.): Value to to replace `NA`s.
#'
#' @param cols `NULL`, character, numeric, integer, or logical vector: Indicates columns for which to replace `NA`s. If `NULL`, then all columns will have `NA`s replaced. If a character, this is the column name(s). If numeric or integer, this is the columns' indices. If logical, columns with `TRUE` have `NA`s replaced. If a logical vector has fewer than the total number of columns, it will be recycled.
#'
#' @returns A `data.table`, `data.frame`, `matrix`, or vector.
