if (FALSE) {
dhsData1 <- getDHSdata(country = "Zambia",
                                 indicator = "ancvisit4+",
                                 year = 2018)
data1 <- getDHSindicator(dhsData1, indicator = "ancvisit4+")


# User-specified function to process the data
# For example see the internal function surveyPrev::AN_ANEM_W_ANY
dhsData2 <- getDHSdata(country = "Zambia",
                                 indicator = NULL,
                                 year = 2018)
data2 <- getDHSindicator(dhsData2, indicator = NULL,
                         FUN = surveyPrev::AN_ANEM_W_ANY)
# which should be identical to the following
dhsData3 <- getDHSdata(country = "Zambia",
                                 indicator = "womananemia",
                                 year = 2018)
