Constructors and methods for a continuous data type. v_continuous and
cont are synonyms that each create a new v_continuous object
subclassed from vctrs_vctr.
Support: \(\mathbf{R}\)* (plus NA_real_)
Prototype: double

as_canonical(x)a double vector
the internal name of the variable
a context
an indicator of whether the data_summary is
automatically computed whenever a vector is initialized, subset, or
concatenated. Defaults to TRUE. If this option is set to FALSE,
then get_data_summary is the only way to compute the summary.
The data_summary_l lens will return an empty data_summary.
A list of descriptors functions
appended to the default descriptors.
passed to other methods such as as.character
