force_num

Coerces a vector into a numeric vector and automatically silences <code>NAs introduced by coercion</code> warning. Useful for cases where non-numbers are known to exist in vector and their coercion to NA is expected / unremarkable. Essentially just a way of forcing this coercion more succinctly than wrapping <code>as.numeric</code> in <code>suppressWarnings</code>.

Suite of helper functions for data wrangling and visualization.
The only theme for these functions is that they tend towards simple, short, and narrowly-scoped.
These functions are built for tasks that often recur but are not large enough in scope to warrant an ecosystem of interdependent functions.
