Description

We shall break https://github.com/Merck/mmrm/blob/main/R/util_fn.R into smaller files.

The general rule of thumb is to have one file per R function. The filename and function name shall matches.

Sometimes, we also group some small functions in one files. For example

https://github.com/Merck/pkglite/blob/master/R/utils.R

Research direction

Start by reviewing R/util_fn.R and inventorying the functions it contains. Compare the organization with pkglite's R/utils.R example, then split functions into appropriately named R files, grouping only small related functions where justified. Done means the utility code follows the stated one-function-per-file convention without changing behavior.
