contract_convert

Can perform one of three rough conversions:<ol>
<li>For interval contracts (e.g., "220 - 229", "9% or more", etc.), convert
the character strings to proper interval notation.</li>
<li>For contracts with multiple discrete outcomes (e.g., Candidate names),
convert the character vector to simple factors.</li>
<li>For markets with a single binary question (e.g., "Will the Democrats have
a brokered convention in 2020?"), contracts returned are always "Yes" which
is converted to <code>TRUE</code>.</li>
</ol>

Quality of life functions for interactive programming.
Shortcuts for common combinations of functions or different default
arguments. Not to be used in production level scripts, but useful for
exploring and quickly manipulating data for easy analysis. Also
imports a variety of packages to facilitate the installation of those
imported packages on the host machine.
