check_data_dict_variables(data_dict)A list of data frame(s) representing metadata to be evaluated.
A data frame providing non unique variables across a data dictionary.
A data dictionary contains the list of variables in a dataset and metadata
about the variables and can be associated with a dataset. A data dictionary
object is a list of data frame(s) named 'Variables' (required) and
'Categories' (if any). To be usable in any function, the data frame
'Variables' must contain at least the name column, with all unique and
non-missing entries, and the data frame 'Categories' must contain at least
the variable and name columns, with unique combination of
variable and name.
