#' @title Convert a \strong{c14_date_list} to a sf object
#'
#' @description Most 14C dates have point position information in
#' the coordinates columns \strong{lat} and \strong{lon}. This allows
#' them to be converted to a spatial simple feature collection as provided
#' by the \code{sf} package. This simplifies for example mapping of the
#' dates.
#'
#' @param x an object of class c14_date_list
#' @param quiet suppress warning about the removal of dates without coordinates
#'
#' @return an object of class sf
