First, thank you to all involved in developing this package!
For load_variables, there is no documentation for what the "dataset" acronyms mean.
I had to learn a lot more about the Census API & dig through this repository's issues before I found an answer. I believe most descriptions of these datasets can be found here: https://api.census.gov/data/
Could some text please be added to the load_variables documentation to provide the link and more context for newer users?
Example: The second paragraph under Details would be more informative if divided into decennial & non-decennial groups and rewritten like the following: (** Please check my work on this! I'm not an expert.)
For the American Community Survey: "acsse", "acs1", "acs3", "acs5", "acs1/profile", "acs3/profile", "acs5/profile", "acs1/subject", "acs3/subject", "acs5/subject", "acs1/cprofile", and "acs5/cprofile".
In both the decennial census and ACS, depending on the vintage: "aian", "aianprofile", "cd113", and "cd115".
For the title and description of each, search for the dataset name here: https://api.census.gov/data/
Exception, for ACS dataset names with a forward slash, search for each part separately (e.g., "acs1" and "profile").
** Please note I could not find "dhca" -- it is possible it is no longer provided through the API. If it still is, it would need different documentation.
Thank you again!
