Tidyverse dependency

[sbfnk]

The package imports tidyverse, which is discouraged:

It would be good to replace this with the specific packages from the tidyverse that are needed here.

Related to this, there is need to reduce the number of Imports drastically as it is currently quite dependency heavy. Check this note from devtools::check().

❯ checking package dependencies ... NOTE
  Imports includes 21 non-default packages.
  Importing from so many packages makes the package vulnerable to any of
  them becoming unavailable.  Move as many as possible to Suggests and
  use conditionally.

Related to the the agreed holistic approach to taking dependencies action item, it might be worth thinking about identifying ways to cut down on this. I will keep this in mind as I plan the next steps to achieve this.
