Description
Function format.time & Format for time
A time variable may be relevant in pharmacology studies, in hormone assays and in basic research. A format.time function may be useful in such instances.
A basic version of such a function is available on my GitHub page:
https://github.com/discoleo/R/blob/master/Stat/Tools.DateTime.R
Notes:
- the convenience argument collapse is useful to format a time range: its applicability may depend where the function is used;
- Documentation for format_value: does NOT provide details about the formats; it seems that they are described only in the vignette;
- using the generic name format.values (or format.value) would enable the search using methods(format);

Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Stat/Tools.DateTime.R implementation and the format_value documentation and vignette. Resolve the intended time formats, collapse behavior, and generic naming before defining the function; done means the agreed API and its documentation are implemented.
