Feature Request: Add handling of ordered factors to fct()

I would like to see the fct()
function from forcats be extended to cover creating ordered factors. This could look like including ordered as an optional argument (as in base::factor()
) and/or by creating an analogue function ord()
that has the same default level-checking as fct().
In practice this would look like:
x <- c("A", "B", "A", "C", "A", "B", "D")
lvls <- c("F", "D", "C", "B", "A")
x <- fct(x, lvls, ordered = TRUE)
# and/or
x <- ord(x, lvls)
Thanks!
