- `recode_values()`, `replace_values()`, and `replace_when()` that join `case_when()` as a complete family of recoding/replacing tools
These are huge quality of life wins for #rstats!

I dabbled with @thomasp85.com's {ggfx} package a bit this past weekend to generate a figure for an upcoming blog post and the result was pretty nice! I was able to add a subtle "atmosphere" that the data is representing to the background of the figure with a blurred gradient-fill rect.
