#' Import/export from clipboard
#'
#' @description These are helper functions around \code{\link{read.table}} and \code{\link{write.table}} to import from and export to clipboard with support for Windows, Linux and macOS.
#'
#' The data will be read and written as tab-separated by default, which makes it possible to copy and paste from other software like Excel and SPSS without further transformation.
#'
#' This also supports automatic column type transformation, with AMR classes \code{\link{as.rsi}} and \code{\link{as.mic}}.
#' @rdname clipboard
#' @name clipboard
#' @inheritParams base::data.frame
#' @inheritParams utils::read.table
#' @inheritParams utils::write.table
#' @inheritParams readr::locale
#' @param startrow \emph{n}th row to start importing from. When \code{header = TRUE}, the import will start on row \code{startrow} \emph{below} the header.
#' @param as_vector a logical value indicating whether data consisting of only one column should be imported as vector using \code{\link[dplyr]{pull}}. This will strip off the header.
#' @param guess_col_types a logical value indicating whether column types should be guessed and transformed automatically with \code{\link[readr]{parse_guess}} from the \code{readr} package. Besides, the antimicrobial classes in this AMR package (\code{\link{as.rsi}} and \code{\link{as.mic}}) are also supported.

#' The parameter \code{stringsAsFactors} defaults to \code{FALSE}, as opposed to most base \R methods.
#'
#' The parameters \code{date_format} and \code{time_format} also support generic date and time formats like \code{"dd-mm-yyyy"} like Excel.
