read.tidy: Read csvs into tidy format
In crazybilly/muadc: A collection of functions and variables

A convenience wrapper for read.csv which lowercases column names and removes punctuation (but leaves underscores). It also has an option to only read the csv if the object does not exist.

1	read.tidy(x = "clipboard", sep = "\t", ifexists = F, existsname, ...)

`x`	the filename to load. Should be a csv. Defaults to reading from the clipboard.
`sep`	the field separator character. If x == 'clipboard', sep defaults to tab seperated files. Otherwise, it defaults to ',' to read csv data.
`ifexists`	should the function check if the object exists. Default = F
`existsname`	what object should the function look for, assuming ifexists = T. If ifexists == T and existname is not empty, the function will return the object with name = existsname.
`...`	Arguments passed on to `utils::read.csv` `header` a logical value indicating whether the file contains the names of the variables as its first line. If missing, the value is determined from the file format: `header` is set to `TRUE` if and only if the first row contains one fewer field than the number of columns. `quote` the set of quoting characters. To disable quoting altogether, use `quote = ""`. See `scan` for the behaviour on quotes embedded in quotes. Quoting is only considered for columns read as character, which is all of them unless `colClasses` is specified. `dec` the character used in the file for decimal points. `fill` logical. If `TRUE` then in case the rows have unequal length, blank fields are implicitly added. See ‘Details’. `comment.char` character: a character vector of length one containing a single character or an empty string. Use `""` to turn off the interpretation of comments altogether.

Returns a data frame will lower cased names and all punctuation removed. If dplyr is already loaded, it returns a data frame as a tbl_df–otherwise, it returns a simple data frame.
