feat: match_name gains additional company legal structure abbreviation alias

AB#10176

Thanks. Can you explain what this table shows and how you think we could use it in the package?

@maurolepore so to clarify... This is something Freddy and I discussed last week that for some companies, the standardized business structure names like "grupo" can create false positives simply because the legal structure components of the name are very similar. It would be nice if there could be a parameter in add_alias to remove the corporate structure abbreviation.

Obviously not urgent, but more a wish list item ;)

add_alias(remove_legal_structure = TRUE)

This actually already exists:

1. Call r2dii.match:::to_alias(...,remove_ownership = TRUE) (the default is false)
2. The default ownership structures that are removed can be seen by calling r2dii.match:::get_ownership_type()
3. If you want to add an ownership type to this list of defaults:

# get default structures
default_ownership <- r2dii.match:::get_ownership_type()

# append your additions
additions <- c("aa","bb")
custom_ownership_added <- append(default_ownership, additions)

to_alias(data, 
         ownership = custom_ownership_added, 
         remove_ownership = TRUE)

@maurolepore this function is documented, but not exported. I think it could be useful to export to_alias

@jdhoffa awesome! One step ahead of me ;)

[maurolepore]

I just discussed with @jdhoffa and plan to consider this for either a release after the first one, or to extract to some other package. We'll keep this open while we polish what we already have for an upcoming release.

Note to self: Consider carefully the maintenance burden of exporting a new function...
