In rubenarslan/formr: formr survey framework accompanying R package

This function makes sure you know what to expect when evaluating uncertain results in an if-clause. In most cases, you should not use this function, because it can lump a lot of very different cases together, but it may have some use for fool-proofing certain if-clauses on formr.org, where a field in a survey may either not exist, be missing or have a value to check.
