#' Row-wise tibble creation
#'
#' @description
#' Create [tibble]s using an easier to read row-by-row layout.
#' This is useful for small tables of data where readability is
#' important. Please see \link{tibble-package} for a general introduction.
#'
#' @param ... <[`dynamic-dots`][rlang::dyn-dots]>
#' Arguments specifying the structure of a `tibble`.
#' Variable names should be formulas, and may only appear before the data.
#' These arguments are processed with [rlang::list2()]
#' and support unquote via [`!!`] and unquote-splice via [`!!!`].
#' @return A [tibble].
#' @seealso
#' See [quasiquotation] for more details on tidy dots semantics,
#' i.e. exactly how the `...` argument is processed.
#' @export
#' @examples

#' ~colA, ~colB,
#' "a", 1,
#' "b", 2,
#' "c", 3
#' )

#' # tribble will create a list column if the value in any cell is
#' # not a scalar
#' tribble(

#' Row-wise matrix creation
#'
#' @description
#' Create matrices laying out the data in rows, similar to
#' `matrix(..., byrow = TRUE)`, with a nicer-to-read syntax.
#' This is useful for small matrices, e.g. covariance matrices, where readability
#' is important. The syntax is inspired by [tribble()].
#'
#' @param ... <[`dynamic-dots`][rlang::dyn-dots]>
#' Arguments specifying the structure of a `frame_matrix`.
#' Column names should be formulas, and may only appear before the data.
#' These arguments are processed with [rlang::list2()]
#' and support unquote via [`!!`] and unquote-splice via [`!!!`].
#' @return A [matrix].
