Description
I can easily turn off IQR with describe_distribution(..., iqr = FALSE). So I would expect to turn off the skewness and kurtosis variables with e.g. describe_distribution(..., skewness = FALSE), but apparently cannot. Is this, or could it be, possible?

Research direction
Start with the describe_distribution() implementation and trace how the existing iqr = FALSE option omits a statistic. Determine how skewness and kurtosis could be independently disabled, then update the relevant tests or documentation so the completed behavior is verified.
