Sidenote: a million thanks to @jennybryan for implementing the `.name_repair = "unique_quiet”` flag.

@kjhealy @jennybryan Thanks for the insightful blog post! I was curious, though: which function takes that argument?

@capbri @kjhealy anything that has a `name_repair` or `.name_repair` argument that eventually routes through the vctrs package

which includes readr, vroom, readxl, googlesheets4, and more

@capbri @jennybryan In my example, it's read_xlsx() that takes it, and by extension any read_ function that takes the more familiar/longer-standing “.name_repair” argument. In this case it quiets repeated reporting about one column in each spreadsheet that has a blank cell where its column name should be.
