#' Summary Helpers
#'
#' @param x A numeric vector (or one that can be coerced to one via
#'   `as.numeric()`) to be summarized.
#' @param named Should the vector be named?
#'   (E.g., `c("-SD" = -1, Mean = 1, "+SD" = 2)`.)
#' @param times How many SDs above and below the Mean (or MADs around the Median)
#' @param ... Not used.
#' @inheritParams coef_var
#' @inheritParams stats::mad
#'
#' @return A (possibly named) numeric vector of length `2*times + 1` of SDs
#'   below the mean, the mean, and SDs above the mean (or median and MAD).
#'
#' @examples
#' mean_sd(mtcars$mpg)

#' mean_sd(mtcars$mpg, times = 2L)

#' median_mad(mtcars$mpg)
