Maybe alias `fredr_series_observations()`?

We've talked about the fact that fredr_series_observations() is likely going to be the most popular function of the package, but is also annoying to type. What if, since it really is the function in the package, we aliased it with fredr() (we would keep both and they could share a Rd file)?

We'd have to go back and replace the current fredr() function with something like fredr_request(), but that wouldn't be the end of the world.

Feel free to disagree! Just an idea

Yes I think this is a good idea

  • fredr_request() to form a general request
  • fredr_series_observations() to fetch observations
  • fredr() as an alias for fredr_series_observations()

Let's implement the documentation work.

If you want to start on everything except the Source endpoint, I'll finish up the doc cleaning for that real quick and we can essentially be done with the first pass of doc cleaning
