#' Attach or load packages, and automatically install missing packages if
#' requested
#'
#' `pkg_attach()` is a vectorized version of [library()] over
#' the `package` argument to attach multiple packages in a single function
#' call. `pkg_load()` is a vectorized version of
#' [requireNamespace()] to load packages (without attaching them).
#' The functions `pkg_attach2()` and `pkg_load2()` are wrappers of
#' `pkg_attach(install = TRUE)` and `pkg_load(install = TRUE)`,
#' respectively. `loadable()` is an abbreviation of
#' `requireNamespace(quietly = TRUE)`. `pkg_available()` tests if a
#' package with a minimal version is available.
#'
#' These are convenience functions that aim to solve these common problems: (1)
#' We often need to attach or load multiple packages, and it is tedious to type
#' several `library()` calls; (2) We are likely to want to install the
#' packages when attaching/loading them but they have not been installed.
#' @param ... Package names (character vectors, and must always be quoted).
#' @param install Whether to automatically install packages that are not
#'   available using [install.packages()]. Besides `TRUE` and
#'   `FALSE`, the value of this argument can also be a function to install
#'   packages (`install = TRUE` is equivalent to `install =
#'   install.packages`), or a character string `"pak"` (equivalent to
#'   `install = pak::pkg_install`, which requires the \pkg{pak} package).
#'   You are recommended to set a CRAN mirror in the global option `repos`
#'   via [options()] if you want to automatically install packages.
#' @param message Whether to show the package startup messages (if any startup
#'   messages are provided in a package).
#' @return `pkg_attach()` returns `NULL` invisibly. `pkg_load()`
#'   returns a logical vector, indicating whether the packages can be loaded.
#' @seealso `pkg_attach2()` is similar to `pacman::p_load()`, but does
#'   not allow non-standard evaluation (NSE) of the `...` argument, i.e.,
#'   you must pass a real character vector of package names to it, and all names
#'   must be quoted. Allowing NSE adds too much complexity with too little gain
#'   (the only gain is that it saves your effort in typing two quotes).
#' @import utils

#' @examples library(xfun)

#'   clean).

#'   session. Note that `new_session = TRUE` implies `strict = TRUE`.
