option to show first X unique variables of character variables?

I don't use factors very often for character variables, so it would be great if vtable did for characters what it is already doing for factors, as in show some of the values that the character columns take.
Not sure how much work that would take, but would entertain making a pull request for this feature when I have some more time.
Interesting! I like that idea. Shouldn't be too difficult - I think it would probably work to just convert the characters to factors after getting their class and before getting their values. I have some other troubleshooting to do this weekend so I might just be able to add it then.
That would be the approach I would take. Thanks!
This is now in the GitHub version! See the char.values option; set to TRUE for all character variables, or c('var1','var2','var3') to just do some of them. Number displayed is set the same as for factors. Thank you!
Looking forward to trying it out, thank you so much!
