Details

Note that the names method on a Dataset returns the aliases of its variables by default. This is controlled by getOption("crunch.namekey.dataset"), which is "alias" by default. Set options(crunch.namekey.dataset="name") if you wish to use variable names. See the vignette on variables for more information.
