FR: Rename on the go

[pank]

Hi,

pdfetch is a very nice and easy interface to access databases. Thank you.

It would be nice if one could rename series on the go. I.e. make this test pass.

x1 <- pdfetch_FRED(c(y="GDPC1", c="PCECC96"))
x2 <- setNames(pdfetch_FRED(c("GDPC1", "PCECC96")), c("y","c"))
all.equal(x1, x2)

Thanks,
Rasmus

@pank the issue here is that pdfetch returns an xts object. Are you asking @abielr to add functionality to return other classes or to replace xts with another class (which seems unlikely)? For your issue, you could just convert to another class, such as data.frame.
