variable instead of rowname

[bjornerstedt]

Feature

The correlate functions generates a tibble with "rowname" as the first column. It should be called "variable" (or something similar) instead, to better match the the column content and to avoid having to rename the column when used in printed output.

This is... a great point. We've decided that our preferred name for the first column is term, like the output from broom::tidy().

It is possible that this change will break folks' existing code, so our plan from here is to start out by keeping the column name the same and generating a soft deprecation warning that the name will change in the future. Then, in another release, we'll change the column name, still with a warning.

Calling it term is better, I agree.
