Description

Warnings that happen when skimming display. This is informative for many purposes, specifically for understanding what is in an unknown data set. However for other purposes it is undesirable.

One option would be to make a quiet mode that defaults to FALSE so that users could suppress the printing of warnings.

There may be other ideas also, so I'm marking this as for discussion.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the skim function's source code to identify where warnings are printed. Propose a 'quiet' parameter (default FALSE) that suppresses warnings when TRUE. Update documentation and add tests for the new parameter.
