[discussion] epix_as_of(as_of) default setting

[dshemetov]

I end up writing this a lot to get the latest snapshot from an archive: epix_as_of(min(Sys.Date(), nhsn_archive_data$versions_end)). Let's discuss the pros and cons of having that be default.

I often write %>% epix_as_of(.$versions_end). That's also a bit annoying, especially if trying to use base R pipe.

• Is there any case where we would have versions /past/ Sys.Date() and want to use Sys.Date() instead? Could the above be used instead?
• I've been thinking maybe we could just have another function epix_latest() or something for this operation. Do you think it's worth a separate name like this?
