Review comment:
Re the nullity checks mentioned in the above comment: we can probably
get around that problem by using `if (!missing(type))` instead of `if
(!is.null(type))` and not giving the `type` argument a default value of `NULL`.
This solves two problems: 1- checking `is.null()` on a quosure causes it to
evaluate immediately and makes subsequent calls to `enquo()` capture the
evaluated value, not the expression. 2- checking `is.null()` on a quosure whose
expression evaluates to `NULL` does not return `NULL`.
