R dependency and native pipe

[sbfnk]

The native pipe |> is used in examples/vignettes. This requires R 4.1.0 but the DESCRIPTION only states a dependency on 4.0.0. Options are:

1. update the dependency in the DESCRIPTION
2. remove the pipe

I would prefer (1) but a counterargument is if we want to set the entry level low we might want to cater for people who never update their R installation.

Perhaps the thing to do is follow tidyverse which would mean we can move to requiring 4.1 at the next (imminent) R release and be safe with option (1) now.

I would prefer 1. as well

Did not realise this! I think option 1 makes sense, though I am not super aware of the landscape of R versions among public health users ( I do remember in a previous project we had to lower it, but not below the native pipe I don't think)
