title: Wrapper/adverb to suppress messages in R
body: <p>A lot of tidyverse functions are very verbose with their messages, leading to logs that are full of stuff like</p>
  <pre><code>New names:
  * `` -&gt; ...1
  * `` -&gt; ...2
  * `` -&gt; ...3
  * `` -&gt; ...4
  * `` -&gt; ...5
  </code></pre>
  <p>repeated a zillion times. This makes reviewing actual warning messages very difficult.</p>
  <p>Is there a drop-in (a) wrapper function that will suppress messages generated from code run inside of it or (b) an adverb that turns a function into one that doesn't generate messages? I'm hoping for a simple modification I can make for my code once it's stable and I don't need to look at all the messages from a particularly verbose line. <code>purrr::quietly</code> is almost what I want, but because it returns the original output as part of a list it's not truly a drop-in replacement or wrapper for an unmodified line of code.</p>
