In larmarange/labelled: Manipulating Labelled Data

#' Update variable/value labels with a function
#' @param .data A data frame, or data frame extension (e.g. a tibble)
#' @param .fn A function used to transform the variable/value labels of the
#' selected `.cols`.
#' @param .cols Columns to update; defaults to all columns. Use tidy selection.
#' @param ... additional arguments passed onto `.fn`.
#' @details
#' For `update_variable_labels_with()`, it is possible to access the name of
#' the variable inside `.fn` by using `names()`, i.e. `.fn` receive a named
#' character vector (see example). `.fn` can return `as.character(NA)` to
#' remove a variable label.
