Description
Prework
- Read and abide by pointblank's code of conduct and contributing guidelines.
- Search for duplicates among the existing issues (both open and closed).
Proposal
col_vals_in_set() can handle fairly big sets, but when we interrogate() the resulting agent we end up with incredibly tall rows:
Is it possible to set a limit on how many set members are printed, along the lines of the current sample_* arguments to interrogate?
(Even if not, this is probably the most useful package I've come across in the last few years. Thanks for all your work!)
Update: On closer inspection this only seems to happen when the table is rendered in Quarto. So it may not be a pointblank issue at all. I'll do some testing and come back when I have some slightly more useful information.
