Specification document to metacore object — spec_to

This function takes the location of an excel specification document and reads it in as a meta core object. At the moment it only supports specification in the format of pinnacle 21 specifications. But, the section level spec builder can be used as building blocks for bespoke specification documents.

spec_to_metacore(
  path,
  quiet = deprecated(),
  where_sep_sheet = TRUE,
  verbose = "message"
)
