Let me know your favourite functions!

Ben Harrap (@bharrap.bsky.social; 38/7/4; 2025-05-23): One of these days I’m going to submit a PR to {stringr} with the function:

It takes strings like “May-23” and converts them back into “05-23” because I’m tired of my street numbers being destroyed #rstats ↪
